Mike Tyson’s wife is throwing in the towel on his boxing career.
According to Tyson’s son Amir, Lakiha “Kiki” Spicer, Tyson’s wife since 2009, who is a significant part of his life and is credited with turning her husband’s life around, is calling it quits on Tyson’s boxing.
“I think he’s done,” Amir told The Sun in an interview. “My stepmom, she’s saying he’s done, and they’re a team. That’s husband-and-wife stuff.”
Amir was infamously the man behind the microphone interviewing his father prior to the fight for Netflix, which panned to Tyson’s bare butt live on screen.
Tyson fought YouTuber Jake Paul to a decision loss in which even Paul said he was carrying the boxing legend to the finish rather than knocking him out.
Tyson looked to be unable to really stand in the final rounds of the fight.
“I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn’t want to hurt someone who didn’t need to be hurt,” Paul said after the fight. “I didn’t wanna hurt someone that didn’t need to be hurt.”
After the fight, Tyson called out Jake’s brother Logan Paul, who boxes a bit himself, having fought to a draw against the undersized Floyd Mayweather in a June 2021 boxing match.
