Mike Tyson Marries for Third Time Two Weeks After Daughter's Death
Mike Tyson has just lost his daughter, Exodus Tyson, two weeks ago, but now he has something to make him happy. The retired boxer has got married to Lakiha Spicer on Saturday, June 6, at 10 P.M., making it as his third marriage. The news has been confirmed by the owner of La Bella Wedding Chapel at Las Vegas Hilton hotel and casino, where the couple had their wedding ceremony.

Chapel spokesperson, Shawn Absher, claimed the pair seemed "very happy and very sincere" before the wedding. The bride wore "an appropriate dress" while Mike donned a suit and tie, he further informed. According to county marriage records, the couple obtained marriage certificate, which their photographer became the witness, about thirty minutes before swapping vows.

Mike and Lakiha kept the ceremony private with no guests in attendance. He even requested not to publish all photos taken of the ceremony.

Mike's 4-year-old daughter, Exodus, whom he has with Sol Xochitl, died on May 26 after she accidentally hung from a treadmill cord. It was said that Lakiha has been helping the former heavyweight champion through the hard time of losing his child.
