Shamed boxer Mike Tyson has claimed he got a prison worker pregnant while serving a jail sentence.The
former world heavyweight champion also revealed the official in
question never had the child, though he never divulged if this was
because she had an abortion or miscarried.
The
shocking revelation came during an interview with ESPN's Rick Reilly,
who asked him what stories he had left out of his one man show Mike
Tyson: Undisputed Truth. He said: 'I didn’t talk about getting a prison
official pregnant.'Oh yeah. In prison, stuff happens. But she had no
baby.' While
he did not discuss when exactly the incident occurred, his longest
stint behind bars was when he was convicted of raping 18-year-old beauty
queen Desiree Washington in 1992.
Tyson
was handed a 10 year sentence, six in jail and four on probation,
though he was eventually released after serving just three. He served
his sentence at the Indiana Youth Center, which later was named the
North Plainfield Correctional Facility.
The
hard-hitting athlete regained his WBC heavyweight title soon after
being released, scoring an easy victory over champion Frank Bruno in
March 1996, and added the WBA strap months later. However his comeback
was short-lived as he was knocked out by unfancied former champion
Evander Holyfield in November that year.A road rage conviction in 1998
sent him to the Montgomery County Detention Center in Maryland for nine
months.
