For any parent there is nothing worse, short of death, than a child hurt or in danger. Imagine Mike Tyson's anguish at hearing the news that his 4 year old daughter,Exodus, is now seriously critical in St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix. The boxer-actor most notable for his various heavyweight titles,troubled marriage to actress,Robin Givens and rape scandal involving Rhode Island beauty queen, Desiree Washington recently acquired new found fame in his critically acclaimed documentary, Tyson, a no holds barred look at Tyson's troubled childhood and rise to world heavyweight fame by director,James Toback.
