Tyson: I impregnated prison guard

Former boxing heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson got a female prison official pregnant while behind bars in Indiana, a bombshell interview revealed.

"Iron Mike" made the revelation during an ESPN interview to hype his one-man Las Vegas show Thursday, but failed to name the woman or offer further details.

While talking about details omitted from his six-run show "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth — Live on Stage," at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, he said, "I didn't talk about getting a jail official, a prison official pregnant and stuff."

The 45-year-old hinted that the pregnancy was terminated.

He said, "she had no baby."

Tyson was convicted of rape in 1992 and was sentenced to six years in Plainfield Correctional Facility. He was released in 1995.
