New Owner of Mike Tyson's House Offers Champ Opportunity to Win It Back at the Poker Table

THE Yorkshireman who bought Mike Tyson's house is planning to give it away in a multi-million dollar poker tournament in which the former world heavyweight boxing champion will be given the chance to win it back.

Self-made businessman Dominic Marrocco, 32, who paid $4m (£2.3m) for Tyson's former Las Vegas estate last year, wants to make the poker game the centre of a reality television show in which hundreds will battle it out to win the ultimate piece of boxing memorabilia.

Four people will win through to a grand final which will be held in a vast marquee on the basketball court in the grounds of Tyson's former home.

However they will not be the only ones with a chance of winning the house as there will be two extra places in the final – one for Mr Marrocco, the other for Tyson.
