Mike Tyson’s 7 Kids: All About the Boxer’s Family

Mike Tyson has a big boxing career and an even bigger family. The heavyweight champion is a father to seven children: Miki, Ramsey, Amir, Miguel, Milan, Morocco and Exodus, who died in 2009 at the age of 4.

Tyson welcomed his first child, daughter Miki, with Kimberly Scarborough. He then welcomed his second and third child, Ramsey and Amir, with Monica Turner, followed by two more kids, Miguel and Exodus, with Sol Xochitl. Tyson’s third and current wife, Lakiha Spicer, is the mother of his two youngest children, Milan and Morocco. 

Though the controversial fighter is known for his knockout punches (and infamous ear bite), when it comes to parenthood, Tyson has said he is focused on keeping his kids safe.

“I’m very ultra, ultra protective. That’s the only thing that’s changed about me,” he told Sports Illustrated in 2016 of his life as a father. While he prepared for his Nov. 15 fight with Jake Paul, which he ultimately lost to the YouTuber, Tyson told reporters that his kids would have a “different opinion” of him after watching him transform into “the devil himself” for the bout.

“She saw me on television fight with Roy Jones [in 2020], but she has never seen anything of this magnitude in her life,” Tyson said of his teenage daughter Milan. “My kids don’t really think of me as the baddest man on the planet. They look at me as Dad [and tell me] sit your old a– down.”

Here is everything to know about Mike Tyson’s kids.

Michael “Miki” Lorna Tyson, 34

Tyson and Turner welcomed their second child, Amir, in August 1997.

Amir grew up in Bethesda, Md. and attended American University, where he played on the club baseball team as a freshman, according to WUSA9.

Also during his time at American University, Amir appeared with his famous father in the boxing ring for a Super Bowl ad. The father-and-son duo teamed up in the commercial for D.C.-area home services company Michael and Son. The 30-second ad shows Amir facing off against his opponent in the ring and losing — until Tyson steps in, wearing a repairman’s uniform, and knocking out the competition.

That time spent in the ring with Tyson didn’t inspire Amir to pursue a career in boxing; instead, Amir launched his own clothing brand called Debonair Attire after graduating from university in May 2019, according to his Instagram account. And although he isn’t throwing punches himself, Amir has worked as a boxing commentator for Triller Fight Club and DAZN.

“He’s doing so well … There are no bad influences. I have so many hopes for him,” Tyson told The New York Times in 2011.

Despite not following in his father’s footsteps, Amir has a deep respect for Tyson’s boxing career. “At my age you were already the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world,” Amir wrote on Instagram along with a photo of Tyson in his prime. “What a legend, love you always.”

Now, Amir is continuing to work as a sportscaster and even covered his dad’s November 2024 fight against Jake Paul. “Super excited to be working this event with an amazing team for the biggest and most viewed boxing fight of the 21st century. Thank you @netflix,” he wrote on Instagram ahead of the bout.

After his dad lost the fight against Paul, Amir shared another Instagram post declaring that he was still a “proud son.”

“Love how you’ve overcome trials and tribulations and win in life and conquer yourself to now becoming one of the most beloved figures ever and go the distance,” he wrote. “Only 58 year old I know that would be able to go 8 rounds and not pass out lol. Warrior inside and out 🔥💪🏽🙌🏾.”

Miguel Tyson, 22

Tyson and Sol Xochitl welcomed their son Miguel in April 2002.

Miguel grew up in Phoenix with his mother and his younger sister Exodus, who died in 2009. As he became a teenager, Miguel began to display boxing talents like his father. In January 2018, Tyson shared a video on his Instagram of 15-year-old Miguel hitting the pads with him. “Not trying to box just trying to stay fit,” Tyson wrote in the caption.

Now, Miguel is mainly interested in photography, videography and traveling. He runs Miguel Lión Media, working as a travel photographer based out of Los Angeles. “I strive to showcase the world and all of its beauty in everything that I do,” Miguel states on his website. The photographer has traveled to Kenya, Hawaii and Costa Rica for his career.

In September 2024, Miguel teamed up with Michael Jackson’s son Prince Jackson to host a fundraiser for Heal Los Angeles, a nonprofit which provides L.A.-based kids with enriching activities throughout the summer.

Exodus Sierra Tyson

Tyson and Xochitl welcomed their second child, a daughter named Exodus, in March 2005.

Tragically, Exodus died in May 2009 when her neck became entangled in a treadmill cord. She was 4 years old. “There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus,” Tyson said in a statement at the time.

Tyson struggled to cope following Exodus’ death, calling the tragedy “a dark moment” in his life, per Reuters. “I am in denial, because I don’t know how to handle it,” he said. “I have become a member of an exclusive club no one wants to join. I have been told the pain never stops but you get over it.”

The effects of Exodus’ death were felt throughout the entire Tyson family — including her siblings. “The kids were very close to Exodus, and when she died we were all devastated,” Turner, Tyson’s second wife, told The New York Times Magazine in 2011. “I think that changed Mike forever.”

Tyson continues to honor his late daughter’s memory. Leading up to his November 2024 fight with Jake Paul, Tyson was seen wearing shorts with Exodus Sierra Tyson stitched above an American flag.

Milan Miyla Tyson, 15

Tyson and Lakiha Spicer welcomed their daughter Milan Miyla in December 2008.

Milan has become a talented tennis player as she’s grown up, training with Serena Williams’ former coach Patrick Mouratoglou and playing opposite Novak Djokovic. Tyson is passionate about his daughter’s budding tennis career and even said in Netflix’s Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson that she plans to turn pro in 2025.

“Of course, she hits the ball like a savage,” he told FightCamp in 2022. “I’m just happy that she’s doing something that she likes … I’m just happy. I’m proud of her.” He added: “She wants to turn pro … That’s what she wants, that’s her dream.”

In August 2024, Mouratoglou posted a YouTube video from a training session with Milan titled “Milan Tyson is so good at tennis.” A few months later, Tyson and Spicer confirmed that their daughter was training with the elite coach in France. “She’s going to be No. 1,” her mom told The Intelligencer.

Besides her aspirations of becoming a tennis pro, the teenager is also an entrepreneur with her own clothing line. Milan launched the activewear brand — named Milan Miyla — in 2021. According to her website, she strives to “create athleisure-wear pieces in a comfortable yet stylish vibe.”

Morocco Elijah Tyson, 13

Tyson and Spicer welcomed his youngest child, a son named Morocco Elijah, in January 2011.

“He is such a sweet and calm baby. Mike and Kiki are overwhelmed with joy to welcome their son to the Tyson family,” the boxer’s rep told PEOPLE at the time.

Morocco appears to have interests in a variety of sports, including tennis like his big sister and boxing like his father, according to his Instagram account. “Not serving like @rogerfederer yet but having fun,” he captioned an Instagram video of himself practicing his serve in 2018.

Morocco has also taken up golf. “So now I’m a golf dad,” Tyson wrote on Instagram in May 2022, along with two photos of his youngest practicing his swing.

Morocco’s grandmother, Dr. Rita Ali, also wrote about his golf talents on social media. “My 11 year old grandson, Morocco Tyson, just started playing golf,” she shared on Facebook in February 2022. “His trainers are amazed at his athletic ability. He definitely has his dad’s, Mike Tyson’s, genetics. I’m so proud of him.”

Now, Morocco is running track, playing golf and attending school in Florida, where his parents have a house.
