Mike Tyson expecting 8th child

Sep 9, 2010 | New York Daily News, RadarOnline.com | 32 comments

Just over a year since the tragic death of his young daughter, Mike Tyson is getting another chance at fatherhood.

The former heavyweight champion, 44, and his third wife, Lakiha Spicer, are expecting a baby boy.

According to the gossip website Radar Online, Spicer (aged 33) is five-months pregnant.

It will be the eighth child for Tyson.

The couple already have a two-year-old daughter, Milan.

The New York Daily News reported that Tyson's 4-year-old daughter, Exodus, died in May 2009 after accidentally getting her neck wrapped in the cord of an exercise machine.

Less than two weeks after the tragedy, Tyson wed Spicer in a private ceremony at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel.

During a May appearance on "The View", the boxer revealed that he was "totally destitute and broke".

"But I have an awesome life, I have an awesome wife who cares about me," he said.

Mike Tyson also has two children, Rayna and Amir, from his second marriage to Monica Turner. His other children include Mickey, Miguel and D'Amato, all from different women.

The rise and fall of a great boxer, like we always say stay the hell away from hos. They will destroy you. But men never listen, when a few dollars come your way you run from the fine women and want to tangle with hos. Anyway good luck iron Mike. As long as you can afford to maintain that creche.

Breaking News everywhere else is that the Reserve Bank has cut the REPO RATE by 50 basis points.

Johannesburg - The South African Reserve Bank's monetary policy committee cut the key repo rate by half a percentage point on Thursday.

The new repo rate is 6%, with the prime lending rate to change to 9.5%

The repo rate is the rate at which the central bank lends to other banks, while the prime lending rate is the benchmark rate at which banks lend to customers.
