Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson's UK Ban Creating Plenty of Controversy

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former world heavyweight champion boxer and convicted rapist Mike Tyson has been forced to scrap appearances in London after discovering he is banned from entering the UK.

Tyson, 47, was due in London this week as part of a promotional tour for his new autobiography Undisputed Truth, which included a photocall with journalists and a book signing at Waterstones.

His publishers said recent changes to UK immigration laws meant he was unable to travel to the country and has been re-routed to Paris instead.

Tweets posted on Tyson's official Twitter account as recently as Friday suggest the boxer was unaware he would be hit by the changes. [Click Here To Read More]

You know America does that too right? I live in Canada and know a lot of people who cant travel to America because of criminal records, most of them far less serious than ****.

Ehh most country do this, where have you been living? Most British citizens can even enter The United States, Martin Murray can't even fight there because he has a criminal conviction in the UK.

Strange. He was in the UK not long ago.

Maybe the uk has finally tightened up its laws. A good thing.

They're just butt hurt that he made them look like fools when he admitted to using ******* in his UK fights and beating their drug testing. The UK is garbage anyway. Just like Canada, they make all these high and mighty rules about getting in then when you get there its nothing but junkies and panhandlers.
