Shamed boxer Mike Tyson has claimed he got a prison worker pregnant while serving a jail sentence.
The former world heavyweight champion also revealed the official in question never had the child, though he never divulged if this was because she had an abortion or miscarried.
The shocking revelation came during an interview with ESPN's Rick Reilly, who asked him what stories he had left out of his one man show Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.
He said: 'I didn’t talk about getting a prison official pregnant.
'Oh yeah. In prison, stuff happens. But she had no baby.'
While he did not discuss when exactly the incident occurred, his longest stint behind bars was when he was convicted of raping 18year-old beauty queen Desiree Washington in 1992.
Tyson was handed a 10 year sentence, six in jail and four on probation, though he was eventually released after serving just three.
He served his sentence at the Indiana Youth Center, which later was named the North Plainfield Correctional Facility.
The hard-hitting athlete regained his WBC heavyweight title soon after being released, scoring an easy victory over champion Frank Bruno in March 1996, and added the WBA strap months later.
However his comeback was short-lived as he was knocked out by unfancied former champion Evander Holyfield in November that year.
A road rage conviction in 1998 sent him to the Montgomery County Detention Center in Maryland for nine months.
The one-time boxing prodigy is was arrested 38 times by the time he was 13, and he ended up being put in the Tryon School for Boys in Johnstown, N.Y.
Tyson, 45, is the father of eight children, and has two with current wife Kiki.
The Hangover star also discussed his former drug use, telling all about the substances he used.
He said: 'I just liked morphine, but I had to take a lot of it because it didn’t stay in your system for a long time.
'And I’d have my cocaine, and I had my marijuana, and I had my Cialis and Viagra and my little friends all sitting there.'
