 Tyson's last fight resulted in defeat to Britain's Danny Williams |
Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has said he will return to the ring this summer. The 38-year-old has been out of action since suffering a shock knockout loss to Britain's Danny Williams last July.
"I'm getting back into a ring. It'll be in Washington, probably 20 June," Tyson said during an interview in Italy.
But the American, who has been suffering from a knee problem, has not yet named an opponent for his latest comeback fight.
During the interview, Tyson also claimed that a lie put him in prison, where he served three-and-a-half years for rape at the beginning of the 1990s.
"I'm no angel," he admitted. "But I'm not just a boxer. I'm also a father, an uncle, a painter."
Tyson was the youngest ever world heavyweight champion in 1986.
