Iron Mike Poses In Couple's Wedding Photos

A bride and groom's wedding in New York had an extra ring to it after former boxing world champion Mike Tyson stumbled upon the wedding party posing for pictures.

In a scene that could have come straight from Hollywood film The Hangover, the Brooklyn-born boxer was crossing the lawn of the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York state, as Greg and Amber Keller had photographs with their bridesmaids and groomsmen on Friday.

Mr Keller said Iron Mike posed for photographs, congratulated the happy couple on their marriage and was "extremely nice".

Tyson, 47, was in Verona for his first promotional fight card featuring boxers from his newly created "Iron Mike Productions".

The newlyweds said Tyson's surprise cameo "energised" their special day.

In The Hangover and its sequel The Hangover Part 2, the former heavyweight has his Las Vegas suite broken into during a stag do and performs cabaret at one of the main character's wedding.
