If it wasn't any more proof that boxing causes brain damage...

I'm not sure how true this is. There's also an article about how obsessed the members of Liberty X are with curry, but this one is too hilarious for words.
EXCLUSIVE: IRON MIKE: WESTLIFE RAISE ME UP
Exclusive
Beverley Lyons And Cath Bennett
TOUGH-GUY boxer 'Iron' Mike Tyson has declared his love - for Westlife.
The infamous ex-world champion heavyweight - who was jailed for rape and once bit an opponents ear - loves the Irish crooners so much he sent the foursome his autographed gloves.
He also has six copies of any album they release bought and couriered to him.
And he was even said to love You Raise Me Up so much only his management could talk him out of using it as his theme music.
Tyson's best pal, Joe Egan, said: "Of all the groups he knows, he regards Westlife best. He calls it anti-freeze music and uses it to chill-out after a heavy gym session or a stressful day - and he's had many of those.
"He finds Westlife music therapeutic,"
The band, currently on a national tour, last night said they were "overwhelmed".
Nicky Byrne said: "Tyson's a legend ... dynamite in satin shorts."
