Former heavy weight champion, Mike Tyson was barred from entering Chile on Thursday due to his criminal record, airport authorities said, AFP reports.

Immigration police at Santiago international airport tweeted a photo of this 51-year-old former heavyweight winner being escorted by officers "re-embarking" him.

It said he was being deported for "not complying with immigration law."

The police force explained it had the power to "forbid the entrance into the nation of any foreigner who has adverse records or convictions in their own country of origin."

In 1992, Tyson was convicted of raping a teenage beauty pageant contestant in his hotel room in Indianapolis, Indiana. He had been sentenced to six years in prison but released on parole after serving three.
