Mike Tyson received a touching Father's Day tribute from his teenage daughter Milan, showcasing the boxing legend's transformation from fearsome fighter to devoted family man.
"Happy Papa's Day to the best papa ever," wrote 17-year-old Milan on her Instagram stories just hours ago, sharing intimate family moments with her followers.
The tribute included three distinct posts: a video of Tyson in the gym holding a punching bag during someone's training session, a peaceful photo of him lounging with the family dog, and a nostalgic childhood snapshot captioned "My GOAT fr fr" - revealing the strong bond between father and daughter.
Milan, born in December 2008, is carving her own path in sports as a promising tennis talent. Training under renowned coach Patrick Mouratoglou, she's already eyeing a professional career by 2025. Talk about following in her father's competitive footsteps!
Tyson's journey as a father hasn't been without heartbreak. The former heavyweight champion experienced profound loss with the death of his daughter Exodus in 2009. Today, he shares his 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 match against Jake Paul last November, he joked about their perception of him.
"To my kids I'm nobody, but that night they're gonna find out their father's very special. I don't wanna say they take me for granted, but they talk a lot of mess to me that nobody else would," Tyson revealed.
When asked to send a message to his children, his response was simple yet profound: "I love you very much, I can't wait to see you."
This Father's Day tribute from Milan offers fans a rare glimpse into Tyson's personal life - not as the intimidating boxer once known as "The Baddest Man on the Planet," but as a father deeply invested in his children's lives. Who would have imagined this transformation when he was dominating the boxing world decades ago?
