Mike Tyson recently wrote a memoir, 'Undisputed Truth', in which he opens up about his marriage to ex-wife Robin Givens. The couple married in 1988, but Tyson writes in his memoir that he knew immediately that the wedding was a mistake.

He explained, "I should have known something was up. I … didn’t know that Robin and her mother, Ruth, had been on the prowl for a big black celebrity for Robin since she graduated college."
He added, "She was supposedly three months pregnant when we got married. Now it was June and she hadn’t gained a pound, so the next thing I knew she was in bed and claimed she had miscarried our baby.”

While a memoir is obviously a chance for celebrities to open up about all parts of their life, it does seem like this confession is coming rather late. Of course, Mike has also discussed Robin's relationship with Brad Pitt at the time, revealing that Brad was actually terrified of getting beaten up by Mike. The marriage between Mike and Robin lasted for only a year, and the couple ended up getting divorced in 1989.
