TYSON: I'M NOT FIGHTING ANY MORE
Mike Tyson told Sky Sports News in an interview that he has no intention of fighting again.
The 39-year-old has not boxed since being stopped by Kevin McBride in June 2005, his third loss in his last four bouts.

But the former undisputed heavyweight champion hinted last year that he was not yet ready to hang up his gloves and wanted one last fight, with Antonio Tarver his preferred opponent.

Now, though, the American insists he is not interested in stepping back inside the ropes and is keen to distance himself from the period in his life when he was known as 'Iron Mike'.

"I'm finished," Tyson said. "I'm not fighting anyone.

"I've come to grips with who I am and what my circumstances are in life and to be pleasant with it."

"I just don't want my legacy as just being some pugnacious guy. I don't like 'Iron Mike', I wish I was never associated with him.

"I'm a different person I guess, I don't believe in what I believed in 25 years ago. It's a burden to change but I'm willing to accept the challenge."

Tyson, who is in the United Kingdom to publicise an upcoming event of Cage Rage where he will be a guest referee, also had plenty of kind words for Frank Bruno.

The duo twice met in the ring with the man from Brooklyn defeating the popular British heavyweight both times.

Since those fights both men have been through difficult times in their personal life and Tyson feels he can relate to what his former opponent has been through.

"Frank is a remarkable man," he told Sky Sports. "He's accomplished a lot.

"He's a true success story, he successfully won against a tough guy (Oliver McCall) who knocked out Lennox Lewis. You have to give him credit and just look at what he's accomplished with all the pressure he's been under in his career.

"I have a great deal of empathy for Frank. I understand what it is to go through addictions and know what it is like to deal with that pressure."

Tyson added: "He's handled it so much better than I ever could have dreamed of handling it."
