Mike Tyson's wife ended Tyson's boxing career.
Lakiha “Kiki” Spicer, Tyson's wife since 2009, was an important part of Tyson's life and is credited with turning her husband's life around, according to Tyson's son Amir, but Tyson's He is asking him to quit boxing.
“I think he's done.” Amir said in an interview with The Sun.. “My stepmother says he's done with it and they're a team. It's a marital issue.”
Amir was infamous for being the one interviewing his father on a microphone before the fight on Netflix, with Tyson's bare butt shown live on screen.
Tyson fought YouTuber Jake Paul until he lost by decision, but even Paul said he didn't knock Tyson out, but carried the boxing legend to the end.
Tyson really looked like he couldn't hold on in the final round of the fight.
“I wanted to put on a show for the fans, but I didn't want to hurt anyone who didn't need to be hurt,” Paul said after the game. “I didn't want to hurt anyone who didn't need to be hurt.”
After the fight, Tyson called out Jake's brother Logan Paul, who fought the diminutive Floyd Mayweather to a draw in a June 2021 boxing match. Paul does a little boxing himself.
“I don't know [if I want to do this again]. It depends…I don't know, maybe it's his brother,” Tyson said in the ring after his lackluster performance in the November fight.
“Mike, I'm going to kill you,” Logan told Tyson after the call.
“Then it's on,” Tyson replied.
Logan is 1-1-2 and was without a win, most recently defeating grappler Dillon Danis in a boxing match.
Tyson's son Amir added that he is not very involved in his father's life and that opinions like the Logan fight would be summarily rejected.
“Such small talk is a waste of time. He is his own man,” Amir said with a laugh. “If I say too much, he just tells me to shut up and remind him that I'm not his father. I can have my say, but he's an adult and he does whatever he wants. I guess.”
Tyson and Paul remain under intense scrutiny Netflix spoke about how the fight unfolded amid a number of lawsuits being filed against promoters. And the fighters.
