Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, once notorious for his bad boy antics, has a new goal: he'd like to dance and act in musicals.

"I've always been a bad guy who wanted to be a good guy,"said Tyson, 46, on the sidelines of the CLSA Investor Forum in Hong Kong this week.

CLSA, an Asia-focused brokerage, likes to make a splash with its annual forum with a high-profile keynote speaker.

"I didn't know how to be a good guy because I was always concentrating on being bad, so I've learned how to be a good guy now and treat people the way I want to be treated. That's why I have a passion for life now."

In Hong Kong, Tyson strutted into the room with the swagger of a boxing champion, looking dapper in a light coloured suit and white shirt, working the crowd of financiers with a toothy grin.

"I'm not drinking, I'm not getting high, I'm not womanising, I'm not doing a lot of things that I normally did," said Tyson, once nicknamed "The Baddest Man on the Planet".

"This is what I'm doing now - a responsible individual, raising a family, loving my wife."

Asked what else he wants to do in his life, Tyson paused briefly.

"I want to do some dancing thing, I want to do some musicals," he said, to loud laughter.
