NEW YORK (AP) - Mike Tyson says he has lost his soul as a human being and hates himself.

"Maybe in my next life, I'll have a better life," Tyson said in an interview for Fox Sports Net's 'Beyond the Glory,' to be broadcast July 16. "And that's why I'm just looking forward to go to the other world. 'Cause I really hate the way I live now. And I hate my life now."

Tyson's former wife, actress Robin Givens, also talks about being abused by the boxer.

According to transcripts of the show, Givens says Tyson would choke and kick her, often causing her to vomit. He would then begin to cry while she consoled him.

"It just started getting dangerous," Givens said.

Both Tyson and Givens acknowledged that repeated infidelities on Tyson's part put a strain on the one-year marriage.

The couple divorced in 1989.

Last month, Tyson was charged with misdemeanor assault after fighting with two men outside a Brooklyn hotel. He is due in court July 24.

Lets all cry for Mike.  What a rough ride Mike has had.
It was all of our faults that he raped a woman, that he bit Holyfield's ear off, that he's a maniac.
