About Mike Tyson wife and children.
Mike Tyson also known as Michael Gerard Tyson is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1985 to 2005.
A member of street gangs in his youth, Tyson was sent to reform school, where his boxing talent was discovered.
He turned professional in 1985 and won the heavyweight title in 1986 by defeating Trevor Berbick, becoming, at age 20, the youngest heavyweight champion in history.
He defended the title against Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, and eight others before losing in an upset to James (“Buster”) Douglas in 1990.
In 1992 he was convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison; he was released on parole in 1995.
In 1996 he challenged but lost to Evander Holyfield; in a 1997 rematch he was disqualified for biting off a piece of Holyfield’s ear, and his license was revoked.
In 1999 Tyson regained his boxing license and returned to the ring.
In his bout against British heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis in 2002, Lewis twice knocked Tyson to the canvas before knocking him out in the eighth round.
Who is Mike Tyson?
Mike Tyson was born Michael Gerard Tyson on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, to parents Jimmy Kirkpatrick and Lorna Tyson.
When Michael was two years old his father abandoned the family, leaving Lorna to care for Michael and his two siblings, Rodney and Denise.
Struggling financially, the Tyson family moved to Brownsville, Brooklyn, a neighborhood known for its high crime. Small and shy, Tyson was often the target of bullying.
To combat this, he began developing his own style of street fighting, which ultimately transitioned into criminal activity.
His gang, known as the Jolly Stompers, assigned him to clean out cash registers while older members held victims at gunpoint. He was only 11 years old at the time.
He frequently ran into trouble with police over his petty criminal activities, and by the age of 13, he had been arrested more than 30 times.
Tyson’s bad behavior landed him in the Tryon School for Boys, a reform school in upstate New York.
At Tryon, Tyson met counselor Bob Stewart, who had been an amateur boxing champion. Tyson wanted Stewart to teach him how to use his fists.
Stewart reluctantly agreed, on the condition that Tyson would stay out of trouble and work harder in school.
Previously classified as learning disabled, Tyson managed to raise his reading abilities to the seventh-grade level in a matter of months.
He also became determined to learn everything he could about boxing, often slipping out of bed after curfew to practice punches in the dark.

Mikey Lorna Tyson is Mike’s eldest child, and she was born to Kimberly in 1992. Although Mike and Kimberly never got married, he remained close to his eldest daughter and often posts about her on his Instagram. While Mikey appears to be private on Instagram, and keeps a low-profile, she is reportedly a plus-size model who was selected as the cover girl for a November 2016 edition of Queen magazine.
Rayna
Mike had a chance encounter with Monica at a party hosted by Eddie Murphy in 1990 at the comedian’s home in New Jersey. An instant connection formed between them, and they remained in contact over the following years. The relationship eventually turned romantic, and tied the knot in a private Muslim ceremony in April 1997, almost a year after they welcomed Rayna on February 14, 1996.
In recent years, Rayna has chosen to be addressed as Ramsey, after identifying as non-binary individual. “I’m a nonbinary person who’s socially transitioned amongst my friends and started a medical transition,” Ramsey told THEM in November 2020. They added that they and Mike aren’t “super close” and that they didn’t really expect him to “be perfect at pronouns.”
According to their IMDb profile, Ramsey has two major movies to their credit: 2019’s Joker with Joaquin Phoenix and 2017’s The Death and Life of Marsha P.
Amir
Ramsey’s little brother Amir was born in 1999. He holds a degree in broadcast journalism from the American University in Washington, according to Heavy. He set up his own streetwear clothing company named Debonair Attire. He appears to post heavily on his Instagram.
Miguel and Exodus
Mike had two children with Sol, his girlfriend from back in the early 2000s. Miguel is now 18 years old and is reportedly a musician, and is involved in a lot of volunteering work for charity. He does not appear to have a social media account at this time.
Miguel’s sister Exodus was born to Mike and Sol in 2005. The little girl died at a hospital in May 2009 after her neck got caught in a treadmill cord at her Phoenix home, per ESPN. Miguel had found Exodus and told their mother Sol, who called 9-1-1.
Milan and Morocco
Mike shares Milan, 12, as well as son Morocco, 9, with Lakiha, who goes by “Kiki.” When asked about Milan’s rising career in tennis back in 2020, Mike told reporters, “I always explain (to Milan), ‘If you really want to do this, you talk about [Novak] Djokovic, Serena Williams, this is what you have to do. You can’t complain. You have to love it. That’s what discipline is. You hate to do it, but do it like you love it.’”
