Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has blown nearly all of the $384 million he earned in the ring, according to bankruptcy papers reported today.

At the end of last year, the troubled champ had just $7,197 in cash left.

He filed for bankruptcy in August, claiming that he owes $34 million, including nearly $22 million in tax.

The papers, seen by the New York Daily News and CNN, also suggest some unusual spending and earning records.

In December, he earned $923,594 but spent just $A108.

The papers, filed in the US Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, also showed that in November he spent $A28,307 but earned only $7.

Tyson became well known for his lavish spending habits.

The 37-year-old once bought two pet white Bengal tigers for a reported cost of about $95,958.

He also bought expensive jewellery, luxury holidays and, according to the papers, gave more than $1.2 million in gifts to people whose names he "does not recall".

In a bid to get out of debt, Tyson plans to return to the ring in May or June.

yes but he has TWO WHITE BENGAL TIGERS!

How cool is that obviously he hasn't wasted his earnings if he's bought stuff like that
