Mike Tyson received a touching Father's Day tribute from his 17-year-old daughter Milan, offering fans a glimpse into the boxing legend's family life. The former heavyweight champion's transformation from "The Baddest Man on the Planet" to devoted family man continues to evolve through his relationships with his six children.
Milan, an emerging tennis talent, shared three personal posts on her Instagram stories honoring her 58-year-old father. Her tribute included a gym video of Tyson holding a punching bag during training, a relaxed photo with the family dog, and a nostalgic childhood snapshot.
"Happy Papa's Day to the best papa ever," Milan wrote, adding "I love you sm" and calling him "My GOAT fr fr" in subsequent posts.
Behind the touching social media tribute lies a story of athletic ambition. Milan, born in December 2008, trains under renowned coach Patrick Mouratoglou and has set her sights on turning professional by 2025. Her development as a tennis prospect has been quietly supported by her father away from the public spotlight.
Tyson's journey as a parent hasn't been without heartbreak. The boxer experienced profound loss with the passing of his daughter Exodus in 2009. Today, he shares life with six children: Mikey (34), Ramsey (nonbinary), Amir (27), Miguel (22), Milan (17), and Morocco (13).
Interestingly, Tyson has maintained a refreshingly honest relationship with his children. Before his exhibition bout against Jake Paul last November, he joked about his kids' perception of him.
"To my kids I'm nobody, but that night they're gonna find out their father's very special," Tyson quipped. "I don't wanna say they take me for granted, but they talk a lot of mess to me that nobody else would."
When asked directly about a message for his children, Tyson's response was characteristically straightforward: "I love you very much, I can't wait to see you." The camera caught his son Amir smiling ringside, highlighting their connection.
From boxing champion to tennis dad – how many sports legends successfully navigate such a profound transformation? Milan's tribute reminds us that beyond the intimidating ring persona, Tyson's most enduring legacy might be the relationships he's building with his children.
