MIKE TYSON will have to serve an extra 60 days in jail in Maryland for violating terms of his probation for a 1992 rape conviction, according to court documents filed yesterday.

The former heavyweight champion will not, however, have to return to Indiana (where he was convicted of the rape charge) for the additional jail time under an agreement reached with an Indiana prosecutor. Tyson must serve the 60-day sentence for violating probation at the end of the one-year sentence he is serving in Maryland for assault, according to the agreement.
