Boxing legend Mike Tyson, 42, and girlfriend Lakiha Spicer have tied the knot, following the death of their four-year-old daughter Exodus.  The little girl passed away after being removed from life support on May 26 – she had become tangled in a treadmill cable in the family’s home in Phoenix the day before.

Tyson and Spicer took out a marriage license Saturday evening, and wed at La Bella Wedding Chapel at the Las Vegas Hilton shortly after, around 10 p.m.

It’s the third marriage for Tyson.  He was married to actress Robin Givens from February 1988 to February 1989.  He married Monica Tuner in 1997 and they divorced in 2003 and are parents to Rayna, 13, and Amir, 11.

Mike is also father to D’Amato Kilrain (1990), Mikey Lorna (1990) and Miguel Leon (2002).  He’s also reported to be father to a girl named Gena (1991, birth mother Kimberley Scarborough).

Wish the couple well.  Losing a child is the most difficult thing a parent can experience.  Hopefully, they are leaning on one another and have the support of family and friends.
