"My angel," the boxing champ said when Oprah asked him about the tragic treadmill accident which took the life of his four-year old girl Exodus. With his wife Lahika in the audience, Tyson struggled to make sense of the horrific event which happened in June. "I don't know what happened. I don't want to know what happened," he said.

"My first instinct was a lot of rage," he revealed. "I am so happy that I had the tools in life not to go in that direction.”



You said it Hankie. It sure was a freak and tragic accident. I watched part of Oprah today...the guy is just broken hearted over her death. I felt for him. (just with this, not the ear biting, abuse, etc)
