Mike Tyson Cancels Undisputed Truth UK Tour

Mike Tyson has been forced to cancel the UK leg of his Undisputed Truth Tour due to a change in the UK's immigration law.

The former heavyweight boxing champion was convicted of rape in 1992 and served three years of his six-year sentence. Due to a change in laws, 47-year-old Tyson is no longer allowed into the country.

Speaking about the cancellation, Tyson said:

"With great disappointment I have to cancel the UK portion of my European tour. Because of new immigration laws, my status for entry is no longer eligible.

However, I have taken every possible step within the parameters of UK law to regain entry. I am truly grateful for my UK fans and have always considered this country my second home so it is disheartening that I am no longer granted entry.

I hope at some point I will be allowed entry back into the country that has afforded me so many cherished memories. In the mean time, I send my sincerest apologies to my fans that purchased tickets and have been inconvenienced by this due process.

Please understand this is all out of my control. I was looking forward to performing and meeting you all. I hope in the near future I am still given the opportunity to do so."

A full refund for tickets will be available from the point of purchase.
