Former heavyweight Mike Tyson champion prevented from entering Chile

Chilean police have prevented former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson from entering the country, citing non-compliance with immigration laws and were putting him on a flight home, the Investigative Police (PDI) said.

Local media reported that the 51-year-old ex-boxer was planning to attend an awards ceremony for action films taking place in Santiago, Chile's capital.
"Detectives from the International Police are re-boarding Mike Tyson for not complying with immigration law," the PDI said on its verified Twitter account on Thursday, alongside a photograph of Tyson walking in an airport with two individuals wearing PDI jackets.
The PDI did not specify which part of the law Tyson did not comply with, and did not immediately respond to an email and a phone call seeking additional information.
Tyson was stopped from entering the UK in 2013 because of previous convictions.
The two-time champion served three years of a six-year sentence imposed in 1992 for raping a teenage beauty-pageant contestant.
