Mike Tyson reinvents himself

Indianapolis - Mike Tyson is putting his personality on full display Wednesday when he opens a 36-city tour of his one-man show "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth."

The former heavyweight champion was convicted of raping an 18-year-old beauty pageant contestant in Indy and he spent three years behind bars in the 1990s. He hasn't been back to the city since he was released from prison in 1995.

Tyson says he's uncertain what kind of reaction he'll get from the crowd. Tyson's wife, Kiki, wrote the script for his show. He's also a father and has started a charitable organisation.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
