Mike Tyson is thought to be one of the best heavyweight boxers ever. During his best years, he was the undisputed world heavyweight champion and made a lot of money.
Before he went bankrupt in 2003, “Iron” Mike lived a luxurious life. His love life also got a lot of attention because he dated a number of women.
Tyson has been married three times. He is now 56 years old. Robin Givens, an American actress, was his first wife. From 1988 to 1989, they were married for a year. According to the boxer, they got married quickly after Givens told them she was pregnant. The actress, on the other hand, said that she lost the baby.
Givens later said that Tyson hurt her physically, and the two got a divorce in 1989. In an interview with Barbara Walters before they split up, Givens said that Tyson was “intimidating.”
But in his book “Undisputed Truth,” Tyson wrote about his marriage to Givens from his own point of view. He said that the actress and her “ruthless” mother took advantage of him to get money.
Seven years after he split up with Givens, Tyson married Monica Turner. He met her at an Eddie Murphy event in 1990. Even after Tyson was convicted of rape and sent to an Indiana jail for three years, the two kept in touch. Turner went to see Tyson in jail a lot while he was there.
In 1997, they got married, and Rayna, their daughter, and Amir, their son, were born. People say that the marriage lasted for five years. But Turner asked for a divorce from Tyson in 2002 after accusing him of cheating on her.
