At age 15, Milan is supposed to be in the process of acquiring her high school education. However, the name of the academic institution she attends has not been mentioned in the public space.
She is the Second Child of Legendary Boxer, Mike Tyson
It is common knowledge that Milan Tyson is the second child of the former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson. Born on June 30th, 1966, Michael Gerard Tyson, as his full name says, is a New Yorker. Mike was born into a Christian home, but during the early part of the 1990s, he decided to change his religion to Islam.
Many have speculated that it may be the influence of his third wife, Lakiha Spicer, who was a Muslim from birth, that made him take the decision to embrace the religion. However, it later came to the fore that even Spicer abandoned Islam to follow Christianity because of her marriage to Mike.
The renowned heavyweight boxer started his boxing career in 1985 and became one of the greatest boxers ever. Two years after he debuted in the boxing ring in 1987, Iron Mike, as he is called, started reigning as the undisputed champion in the heavyweight category. His reign spanned for the ensuing three years, ending in 1990.
Milan Tyson’s dad went on to record 20 long years in the ring, during which he had 58 fights. Out of his 58 fights, Iron Mike won 50, lost six, and recorded two no-contests. He retired from active boxing in 2005, following which the former heavyweight boxing champion was inducted into both the World Boxing Hall of Fame and the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Mike Tyson now has a cannabis business, and he owns the Tyson Ranch business. His merchandise includes high-quality marijuana strains, extracts, candies, and CBD products. He has a marijuana-themed resort that is still under construction. Iron Mike says the 418-acre resort will be housing the biggest music festival, including the world’s longest lazy river, upon its completion.
Her Mother is a Business Woman Named Lakiha Spicer
Milan Tyson’s mother is Lakiha Spicer. Lakiha ‘Kiki’ Spicer was born on June 11th, 1977, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvanian native is Shamsud-Din Ali’s youngest daughter with his wife, Faridah Ali. While Shamsud-din Ali’s profession is not known, his wife Faridah works in the Philadelphia-based Sister Clara Muhammad School as the Assistant Director of Education.
Of American nationality, Lakiha has an Afro-American ethnic background, though she is said to have a streak of White American in her makeup; this is from her mum’s side of the family. She converted to Islam after marrying Iron Mike. Lakiha was raised alongside one brother Azeem.
A scrutiny of Lakiha’s professional life reveals a businesswoman focusing on the fashion industry. Reports said that the mother of two owns and runs a thriving boutique. A writer, Milan Tyson’s mother, co-wrote the script for a show called The Undisputed Truth. However, with all her career endeavors, the only reason Lakiha’s name rings a bell is because of her union with Iron Mike.
Milan Tyson Was Born Before her Parent’s Wedding
According to reports, Milan Tyson already celebrated her first birthday before her parents tied the nuptials in 2009.
Iron Mike and his third wife, Spicer, first crossed paths when she was 18. The New York Post said the then-teenage Spicer tagged along her dad, Shamsud-din Ali, to one of the heavyweight boxing champion’s matches.
The match promoter, Don King, was the one who introduced Tyson to Spicer and warned the boxer never to get romantically involved with the then-teenager, describing her as the kind of person that cannot be messed with. Besides, the boxer was 11 years Spicer’s senior, but that didn’t seem to stop him.
Despite Don King’s warnings, Spicer and Iron Mike started dating five years later when she was 23, and according to reports, the heavyweight boxer was still Monica Turner’s husband; thus, it was an extra-marital affair. However, The New York Post described the couple’s relationship as an on-and-off thing.
According to Milan Tyson’s mother, she just couldn’t get Iron Mike out of her system, they kept getting back together after every misunderstanding, and she gave the boxer credit for being the only man she could fall in love with over and over again.
Their relationship started in earnest following Iron Mike’s divorce from his second wife Turner. However, they both had serious brushes with the authorities that landed them in jail. Following their release, the duo wasn’t allowed to cohabit immediately and had to live separately in Las Vegas.
However, they were eventually able to tie the knot on June 6th, 2009, and their wedding ceremony was hosted in Las Vegas, precisely at the La Bella Wedding Chapel. The couple’s wedding occurred two weeks after Iron Mike lost his daughter, Exodus, in a tragic home accident.
Milan Tyson Was Nearly Born in Prison
Spicer discovered she was pregnant with Milan Tyson a week before her conviction and nearly had her daughter while incarcerated in prison. The event leading up to her prison term happened in Pennsylvania in 2004 when she got enmeshed in a money-laundering scheme with five other persons.
According to reports released by the Pennsylvanian Department of Education, Spicer’s mum, Faridah, used her position as the Assistant Director of Education in her place of work, the Sister Clara Muhammad School to commit fraud with some people, including her children. It happened that the academic institution was paid a huge sum to organize adult education courses, including job training. This led the school to pay both Spicer and Azheem teacher salaries; however, it was later discovered that they never thought any classes.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Milan Tyson’s mother alone pocketed up to $71,000 from the scheme. She was slammed with two counts of conspiracy, one count of theft, and four counts of mail fraud, including one count of false statements. A press release from the Department of Education said Spicer was lucky to escape a 105 years jail term as a maximum sentence,
However, she only got six months jail term with a $30,000 payment in restitution in the sentence, which was passed on April 1st, 2008. Spicer had to serve the jail term even after she went to file for an appeal. It was a week before commencing her prison sentence that she discovered that she was pregnant with Milan and gave birth to her a few weeks after she left prison.
