LAS VEGAS --

Boxer Mike Tyson has married for a third time, two weeks after his 4-year-old daughter died in a treadmill accident.

The owner of La Bella Wedding Chapel at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel-casino told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the former heavyweight champion and his bride, Lakiha Spicer, exchanged vows Saturday in a short and private ceremony.

Chapel owner Shawn Absher says the couple wed about 10 p.m. after arriving at the hotel from the Clark County marriage bureau in a chapel-owned limousine.

Tyson's daughter Exodus died in May. The girl suffocated after she either slipped or put her head in the loop of a cord hanging under a treadmill's console in her Phoenix home. Tyson's agent, Harlan Werner, told the AP that Spicer is not Exodus' mother.

Tyson, who appears in the Las Vegas-based movie "The Hangover," was married to actress Robin Givens in 1988 and Monica Turner in 1997.
