Mike Tyson denied entry to Chile, sent home

Former world heavyweight champion boxer Mike Tyson was denied entry into Chile on Thursday and sent on a flight home.

The Chilean Investigative Police cited noncompliance with immigration laws as the reason for denying his entry, and posted an image on the department's official Twitter page of Tyson being escorted through the airport.

Tyson's criminal record in the U.S. led to his denial and re-boarding, according the Associated Press. He was convicted of rape in 1992 and served three years of a six-year prison sentence before being released on parole in '95. The former boxer, perhaps best known for his 1997 fight when he bit Evander Holyfield's ears, has also been convicted of assault.

The Chilean Investigative Police noted on its Twitter page that it has the power to "prohibit the entry into the country of any foreigner who has negative records and/or convictions in their country of origin."

The 51-year-old Tyson was heading to Santiago to attend an awards ceremony for action films.

A lot of countries have these limits on who can enter. Canada and the UK has one as well I believe but Mike has been to Canada in recent years...this is some BS on Chile's part.

Imagine the amount of money Mike would generate off appearances alone.

Damn. Source?
 
what was the assault conviction for? Mitch green? don king? or them 2 dudes he beat up in the hotel?
 
Who cares? People get stopped at customs everyday B

What happens next? He has to come HOME, to America , his wife and kids? Awwwwww
 
who the fuck wants to go the chile anyway?
they shouldve been honored to have mike there

Right? This is Mike Fucking Tyson... not some average dude with a rap sheet. Seems like a really dumb move and can't imagine it was motivated by actual concern about his "negative background".

We all know what time it is. :smh:
