Washington, July 21 : Mike Tyson has said that he is happy that the rape charge against him is a thing of the past.

The former boxing heavyweight champ served a three-year sentence in the `90s for a rape conviction, a crime he still denies he committed.

"I didn't do that," ABC News quoted him as saying on US late-night news program `Nightline'.

"I'm never going to say I did something I didn't do. I'm just so happy that it's over," he added. (ANI)
