Mike Tyson has spoken out for the first time about the death of his 4-year-old daughter in May.

Exodus Tyson died in hospital after she was found unconscious at the family's home in Phoenix, Arizona, with a treadmill cable wrapped around her neck.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he said: "I am working with dealing with it. I have spoken to a lot of people. I have become a member of an exclusive club no-one wants to join.

"I have been told the pain never stops but you get over it. I am going through a process, trying to heal. I am in denial, because I don't know how to handle it. I don't know what to do or say. I appreciate everybody who supported me."

Tyson, who married girlfriend Lakiha Spicer in June, recently filmed a guest appearance in Fox's new series Brothers.
