Tyson to quit after Golota fight

Mike Tyson has claimed that his fight against Andrew Golota will be his last. The controversial fighter made the sensational announcement to the United States network ESPN shortly after a routine press conference and weigh-in before the Friday night fight.

The former heavyweight world champion, Tyson told the interviewer: "This is definitely my last fight." When pressed, he reconfirmed his claim, saying: "I'm finished after this."

Earlier, after a workout at Brewester's gym in Detroit, he had said that the scheduled 10-round fight may be his final. "I might just say 'that's it' and go home and take care of my family.

"I want to be happy for the first time in my life and live life the way I want to. I have to get away from you all. I don't need this. I can be enjoying my kids."

But Tyson's statements have often proved to be misleading. In fact, mostly they are just ways of boosting interest in his fights which themselves don't last too long.
