Tyson on late daughter: 'That's my angel'

Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson says he doesn't want to know what led to his 4-year-old daughter's death.

On Monday's episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," he called Exodus Tyson "my angel." Exodus died May 26 at a Phoenix hospital, a day after her neck apparently was caught in a treadmill cord.

Tyson told the talk show host he didn't want to know details of her death because "if somebody's to blame for it there will be a problem."

The former boxer says his first instinct was rage but now he has no animosity or anger toward anyone. Tyson called his family "my biggest asset." He also says his children are "the only thing that matters to me now."

Tyson was the subject of the recent movie "Tyson," which was based on interviews with the boxer.
