Tyson banned from Britain

Former undisputed world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has been banned from entering Britain to promote his book due to changes in the country's immigration laws, British media reported on Tuesday. The US boxer and convicted rapist is in Paris and was to arrive in Britain this week to plug his new autobiography Undisputed Truth. New immigration rules, however, mean anyone with a previous conviction resulting in a jail sentence of more than four years is barred from entering the country.
