Mike Tyson befriends Maltese community

Boxer Jeff Fenech, son of Maltese immigrants in Australia, is taking his good friend Mike Tyson down under with a view to help him reinvent his image and career. From BBC news:

Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is to train full-time with Australian boxing great Jeff Fenech. Fenech told Aussie broadcaster Channel Nine that Tyson, 38, could even make his next comeback Down Under. "I'm a great friend of Mike, and it will be a pleasure to try to get him back on track," said Fenech, who won world titles in three weight divisions. "I think that the best thing for him would be to get away from everything in America," he added.
"Mike's a changed man, he wants to do the right thing." Fenech worked briefly as assistant to Tyson's coach Freddie Roache before his last fight - a humiliating, four-round loss to England's Danny Williams in July.
