Tyson weds in Las Vegas

Los Angeles - Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson married girlfriend Lakiha Spicer in Las Vegas, the owner of a wedding chapel said on Tuesday.

Tyson's marriage to Spicer took place on Saturday in a private ceremony at the La Bella Wedding Chapel, its owner Shawn Absher said.

"No guests whatsoever, just the bride and groom," Absher said. "Very intimate, sincere. Mike seemed very happy."

Tyson's union with Spicer is his third marriage. He retired from boxing in 2005 after a career marked by controversy.

Tyson has a cameo in comedy "The Hangover," which opened on Friday and was the No. 1 movie at US and Canada box offices over the weekend with nearly $45m.
