Mike Tyson has announced that he will make his comeback to the ring on June 20 in Washington, but is yet to name his opponent.
Tyson's last outing was a humiliating four-round loss to England's Danny Williams in July, and the former world heavyweight champion is determined to get his career back on track.
"I'm getting back into a ring. It'll be in Washington, probably June 20," Tyson said in an interview during the festival of Italian songs in San Remo.
Tyson, also eager to repair his public image, claimed that he was falsely accused of the rape that saw him spend three years in prison in 1992.
"A lie put me in prison," the boxer said. "I don't respect the American justice system ...In my conviction there was a lie. So many people are condemned unjustly and in reality they haven't done anything.
"I'm no angel," he admitted. "But I'm not just a boxer. I'm also a father, an uncle, a painter." Credit skysports.com
