On The Road With ... Mike Tyson

IRON MIKE IS facing an August trial in Arizona after his arrest in December for drug possession and DUI, but that hasn't kept potential employers from coming a knockin'. Last week businessman Dominic Marrocco—a Tyson pal who was born in England but is based in Las Vegas—expressed a desire to buy financially struggling English soccer team Leeds United and install Tyson as the team's fitness coach. Said Marrocco, "I've spoken to Tyson about Leeds and he's up for anything. He comes around and looks after my dogs." Alas, it looks unlikely that Marrocco will pull the purchase off. But Tyson still has overseas opportunities. Next month he is scheduled to fly to India to star in a promotional video for a Bollywood film called Fool and Final. Tyson reportedly demanded the entire floor of a hotel and is taking his own chef with him because he doesn't want spicy food. His role in the ad is simple—and in its strangeness, consistent with the rest of his life. Said director Ahmed Khan, "We'll ask him to do a little jig with the male actors in the film."
