Mike Tyson’s Family After Losing His Young Daughter
From children who found their passion in music and photography to those who showed they share their dad’s athletic talent, meet Mike Tyson’s six kids.
The world knows Mike Tyson as a famous boxer, but to his six children, he’s just their dad. Behind the spotlight and headlines, his most important role is being a father.
Mike Tyson, one of boxing’s most famous figures, has experienced great success in the ring but also deep sadness in his personal life. In 2009, he suffered a heartbreaking loss when his 4-year-old daughter, Exodus, passed away in a tragic accident. Despite this tragedy, Mike’s family has grown and continues to thrive. Here’s a look at the lives of his children.
Mike Tyson, now 58, is known for his incredible boxing career and controversies, including becoming the youngest heavyweight champion and the infamous 1997 fight where he bit Evander Holyfield’s ear.
Outside of the ring, Mike’s life has been marked by deep sorrow. In 2009, his daughter, Exodus Sierra Tyson, tragically passed away after a treadmill accident at home. This loss left him heartbroken. Mike even had to stop an interview because talking about her death was too painful.
People online expressed their sympathy, with one person writing, “Respect, wanted to give the man a hug. That’s hard to go through.” Another said, “Some things are just too painful to talk about.”
In 2023, Mike talked about the tragedy on his podcast, “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson.” Reflecting on his grief, he said, “You never recover, but you live with it.”
In 2024, during a fight against Logan Paul, Mike paid tribute to his late daughter. He wore boxing trunks with her name stitched on them, showing how much she remains in his heart.
Despite his loss, Mike finds joy and strength in his six children, each with their own unique talents and lives.
