Iron Mike Tyson was defeated Thursday without a single punch thrown, as Chilean authorities denied the ex-boxer entry into the country due to Tyson’s past criminal records
The former heavyweight champion was not permitted to enter the South American country and was instead sent back to the U.S., Chilean officials said.
The country’s equivalent of the FBI said Thursday that Tyson doesn’t meet requirements for entry, apparently due to his criminal background.
The Chilean Police of Investigations also tweeted that Interpol agents would escort him onto a deportation flight back to the U.S.
