Fact-check: Did Mike Tyson really offer $10 million to anyone who marries his daughter?

Legendary former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is about to enter the ring against YouTube star Jake Paul on November 15th at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. In the meantime, there’s been some chatter about Tyson’s daughter, Mikey Lorna Tyson among the public, especially about an alleged offer Tyson made for her daughter’s marriage.

As Tyson looks to make a successful return to the ring after nearly two decades in a professional bout, many have been wondering whether Tyson really offered $10 million to any man willing to marry his daughter.

Truth about Mike Tyson offering $10 Million for daughter’s marriage

Back in the first quarter of 2023, some rumors on the web suggested that former world champion Mike Tyson was offering a whopping $10 million to any man willing to marry his daughter, Mikey Lorna Tyson. Initially reported by Hit News, the report claimed Tyson made the offer because Mikey had reached a “marriageable age.” 

With Tyson’s star power, it didn’t take long for other media outlets to pick up the story and it started spreading like wildfire. However, Tyson quickly debunked the claims, calling the entire thing false. He expressed his disappointment over such misinformation being spread across the internet. Although Hit News removed the report, other websites were still circulating the story.

Meet all the other kids of Mike Tyson

Beyond his career as a boxing legend, Mike Tyson is also a father to his seven children with four different women, each seemingly immersed in their lives. Tyson’s eldest, Mikey born in 1990 with ex-wife Robin Givens, is a musician who recently released her first single, ‘Love Me Again.’ Tyson had even endorsed her music on social media, asking his followers to check out the new song.

Tyson’s second child, Ramsey, was born in 1996 with then-wife Monica Turner. Ramsey worked on notable films like the 2019 smash hit Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix, and The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson released in 2017. Amir Tyson, also born in 1997 to Monica Turner, graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism and is now part of the commentary team for the Paul vs. Tyson fight.

Miguel Tyson, Mike’s son with Sol Xochitl, was born in 2002 and is a talented musician, who is studying Psychology and Social Entrepreneurship. Then there’s Miguel’s younger sister, Exodus Tyson, who tragically passed away in 2009. Tyson later married his current wife, Lakiha Spicer, with whom he had his daughter Milan Tyson in 2008.

Milan is a competitive tennis player, who looks up to Serena Williams, as she prepares for her own professional career. Tyson’s youngest child, Morocco, born in 2011, largely remains out of the public eye.

That said, following his legendary career in the sport of boxing, Mike Tyson has largely remained a family man, spending his time surrounded by his children. However, the Jake Paul fight seems to have reawakened the fighting spirit in him. What do you think of Tyson’s family?
