Comeback kid: Mike Tyson takes his wife and mini-me son Morocco to Poland to launch his new sports drink





He has just finished a sell-out run at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas — Mike Tyson: The Undisputed Truth and a spate of guests appearances in the UK.

And today the former world heavyweight champion was spotted in Warsaw with his third wife Lakiha Spicer, and their son, one-year old Morocco Elijah Tyson.

But Lakiha, also known as Kiki, was left holding the baby as Tyson appeared in be in the middle of reading a book titled Gangs.

The fallen boxing champ is in Poland with his family to continue what appears to be an attempt at the rehabilitation of his reputation and a restocking of the coffers.

In a recent interview Tyson claimed to have squandered his $300million fortune and was now ‘forced to live paycheck to paycheck’.

'In Warsaw, Poland. Just wrapping commercial for Black Power Energy Drink. They put me on the can,' the former heavyweight champion posted on his Twitter feed.

Tyson performed his one-man show in Vegas earlier this month to audiences of celebrities and fellow boxers including fellow boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard.

The former champ pulled no punches in the frank talk about his three marriages, eight children, drug abuse and his traumatic upbringing.

He also kept the audience laughing by breaking out into song and with unscripted gags about his wild past.

The show took place at the MGM Grand casino in Las Vegas, which has been the scene of some of Tyson’s most epic fights during his career.

The shamed boxer has been a constant presence in the headlines recently.

In a shocking interview with ESPN's Rick Reilly last week, Tyson claimed he got a prison worker pregnant while serving a jail sentence.

The revelation came after Reilly asked him what stories he had left out of his one man show Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.

He said: '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 had told the audience at his six-run Vegas show: ‘I went to jail for something I didn’t do’.

Tyson wed Spicer in 2009 in Las Vegas, she is also the mother of Tyson's daughter, Milan.

Tyson has also fathered eight other children.
