Knockout, throwdown party!
Mike Tyson and wife Lakiha Spicer pulled a fast one on 150 guests in Vegas on Saturday. Inviting pals to what they called a joint birthday bash, the spouses of two years surprised their friends at the M Resort Spa Casino with an elaborate wedding vow renewal.

The former heavyweight champ, 44, and Spicer, 34, first tied the knot in a quickie Vegas ceremony back in 2009. But for the two-year mark, after announcing the true nature of the party to guests, Spicer changed from her cocktail dress into a mermaid-cut white gown and veil, Page Six reports. She and Tyson, wearing a black tux with a satin white tie, then exchanged vows in a traditional Muslim ceremony.

The ceremony was followed by an epic party featuring a live band, a wedding cake and an elaborate candy station. Guests included directors Brett Ratner and James Toback plus Morocco, the couple's 6-month-old son.

2I'm glad he finally seems to be happy. I've always felt so bad for him. He only has a 4th grade education and was cast off by his parents. His manager and everyone else around used and abused him. Not to mention the beating he took boxing and then losing practically all his money as well as losing a child. What a rough life. Glad to see he is happy!
So she was crazy enough to marry him twice, huh? Just kidding..age and life seems to have mellowed him out ALOT.
