Mike Tyson was reduced to tears on the Oprah Winfrey show in the US on Tuesday morning.

The former heavyweight boxing champ has spoken about the death of his four-year-old daughter.

Exodus was accidentally strangled by a cord hanging from a treadmill in the exercise room of her mother's house. Her seven-year-old brother found her.

Tyson says he does not want to know how his daughter died. He said his first instinct was rage and if he found out that someone was to blame for her death then there would be a problem.

He says he is focusing on making the rest of his family happy rather than dwelling on the bizarre circumstances surrounding his Exodus' death.
