I hate my life, I want to die: Mike Tyson
Monday, July 7 2003 17:17 Hrs (IST)
London: In a rather shocking revelation, Mike Tyson has said that he hates his life and wishes he could
die.
"I got some serious, serious demons I'm fighting. I hate my life now. Maybe in my next life, I'll have a
better life. That's why I'm just looking forward to going to the other world," 'The Sun' quoted Tyson,
currently facing trial for a bloody assault in New York's Marriott Hotel, as saying in a TV
interview.
In the interview, part of a new two-hour documentary on the 36-year-old former heavyweight champion's
rise and fall to be screened in the US next week, Tyson's former wife Robin Givens has also shed light
on the couple's doomed marriage and his violent ways.
"I'm happy everybody's alive in my family. He swung a phone at me. I remember the impact. I thought
somebody was going to die - me or him," said the 38-year-old actress.
Besides spending three years in jail for raping Miss Black America contestant Desiree Washington in
1991, Tyson was also suspended from boxing for a year after biting off part of rival Evander Holyfield's
ear in 1997.
Two years later, he got two years for assaulting two drivers, but served just four months.
And just last month, Tyson was charged with beating up two men and a woman at Marriott Hotel.
