Hard man MIKE TYSON broke down in tears on TV after speaking for the first time about the death of his baby daughter.

The boxing champ's four-year-old daughter Exodus died in May this year when she accidentally strangled herself on a treadmill cord at her mother Sol Xochitl's house in Phoenix, Arizona. She died a day later in hospital.

But five months on ‘Iron Mike' is still devastated by the tragedy and was visibly upset when telling chat show queen OPRAH WINFREY about his loss.

But Tyson admitted he didn't want to know the finer details of the accident and had refrained from trying to find something or someone to blame.\

He said: 'From all my experience in rehab, I took responsibility. She had to be buried, she had to be taken care of.

'There was no animosity. There was no anger towards anybody. I don't know how she died and I don't want to know.

'If I know somebody's to blame for it, there will be a problem.'

Exodus's older brother Miguel, seven, found her unconscious after her neck got caught in a treadmill cord.

Her mother Xochitl, who is no longer in a relationship with Tyson, administered CPR before calling emergency services.

The youngster was placed on life support, but died from her injuries the following day.
