The Untold Stories of Mike Tyson’s Children Following a Heartbreaking Family Loss
|From kids who became chart-topping musicians and photographers to children who inherited their father’s athleticism, meet Mike Tyson’s six children.
The world knows Mike Tyson as a boxing legend, but to his six children, he’s just Dad. Beyond the fame and controversies, his greatest role has been as a father.
But Mike’s journey as a father hasn’t been without heartbreak. In 2009, he suffered the tragic loss of his 4-year-old daughter. Despite this devastating event, his family has continued to grow and thrive. Let’s take a closer look at his remarkable children.
Mike Tyson, now 58, is a name famous for both his incredible boxing career and controversies. He became the youngest heavyweight champion in history and is known for his aggressive fighting style.
However, he’s also remembered for the shocking 1997 incident where he bit Evander Holyfield’s ear during a match, which caused global headlines.
Beyond his public image, Mike has faced immense personal tragedy. In 2009, his 4-year-old daughter, Exodus Sierra Tyson, whom he shared with Sol Xochitl, passed away in a terrible home accident. She became entangled in a treadmill cord, leading to her untimely death.
The loss was so overwhelming that Mike ended an interview shortly afterward, saying the pain was too much to discuss.
Fans reacted to the interview with sympathy, with one person commenting, “Respect to him, that’s a hard thing to go through.” Another said, “Bless him, he’s always been raw with his emotions. I’m glad he seems better now.”
Years later, in 2023, Mike opened up about the tragedy on his podcast Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson. Reflecting on his grief, he shared, “You never recover, but you live with it.”
In November 2024, during an exhibition fight against Logan Paul, Mike honored Exodus by wearing black boxing trunks with her name stitched in white.
Despite this heartbreaking loss, Mike finds comfort in his other children. Their unique lives and accomplishments bring light to his journey of healing.
Michael “Miki” Lorna Tyson, 34, is Mike’s eldest child with Kimberly Scarborough. In October 2024, she released her song “Love Me Again,” which quickly became a chart-topping hit.
Proud of her achievement, Mike shared the song on Instagram, writing, “So proud of my daughter. She’s an incredible writer and singer.”
Milan Tyson, 15, is Mike’s daughter with his wife, Lakiha Spicer. Milan is a tennis player and entrepreneur who launched her activewear brand, Milan Miyla, in 2021.
In 2023, she attended the ESPY Awards with her father. Mike reflected on fatherhood, saying, “I can’t be who I used to be. I have a daughter, and things have to change.”
He also opened up about parenting in middle age, sharing, “Now I’m present in my children’s lives. I’ve never been that way before.”
Morocco Tyson, 15, is Mike’s youngest son with Lakiha. He shares his father’s love for sports, often posting about tennis on social media.
Mike has shared bonding moments with Morocco, including photos of them golfing together.
When discussing parenting, Mike admitted, “I’m softer with my daughters, but harder on my sons. Sometimes I have to remind myself they didn’t grow up like I did in Brownsville.”
Reflecting on fatherhood, he added, “We see parts of ourselves in our children, and we try to guide them so they won’t repeat our mistakes.”
Mike Tyson’s journey as a father shows both his resilience and deep love for his children. Through heartbreak and triumph, his kids bring him purpose and joy.
