Mike Tyson welcomes eighth child

Mike Tyson has become a father for the eighth time, according to reports.

A representative for the boxer has confirmed to People that he and wife Lakiha Spicer Tyson welcomed son Morocco Elijah Tyson on Tuesday.

Tyson tied the knot with Spicer, his third wife, at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel's La Bella Wedding Chapel back in June 2009, and the couple are already parents to daughter Milan, who celebrated her second birthday last month.

Tyson is also father to a further five children from different relationships: Amir, D'Mato, Miguel, Mikey and Rayna. His daughter Exodus, 4, died following an accident at home in 2009, and he later credited his family with helping him cope with the tragedy.

He is currently preparing for the launch of his new show Taking On Tyson, which premieres March 6 on Animal Planet.
