Milan Tyson may still be small, but she is mighty, not just because her father is one of the greatest boxers ever to step foot in a ring. Milan was born to Mike Tyson and his current wife, Lakiha Spicer. They tied the knot in 2009 after Spicer got pregnant and gave birth to their daughter Milan in December 2008. She inherited many things from both her parents.
Given who her father is, it is no surprise that Milan already knows what it is to be hardworking and dedicated to achieving a goal. And what is her purpose? To become the best at her favorite sport, tennis.
When Did Milan Tyson Start Tennis Training?
Mike Tyson’s youngest daughter fell in love with the game of Tennis at the age of three. She was inspired by none other than the legendary tennis player Serena Williams.
Her father, who dotes on her, has played a big part in her progress. The proud father ensures that his daughter learns the game’s rules under the best possible conditions so she can grow.
Milan gets the best gear, the best body trainers, and the best equipment to use. That’s not all; the budding tennis star has also been receiving training under the best. She is known to take lessons from Patrick Mouratoglou, who trained Serena Williams.
As a result, Milan has interacted with Williams and learned about their shared passion. When the two shared a court in the past, footage from the occasion turned many heads.
How Did Milan Tyson Make Her Father Fall in Love With Tennis?
Milan became famous before her birth because of her father. However, she has grown even more popular since her arrival on Earth. She is not even 18 yet but has already done things proving she is just as elite as her father.
A good example is that tennis fans would not be lucky enough to see Mike Tyson in the stands watching tennis games if Milan had not helped him realize his love for the sport. Mike is now a big fan of the game, and he has admitted in the past that it has completely changed his life.
During a podcast with Mouratoglou, Mike realized that Tennis as a sport had widened his horizons and changed their lives forever. He said: “I thought we were doing well, and everything we were doing was making money, but that’s not bigger than my daughter playing Tennis. She’s bigger than everything in our lives now.”
According to him, Tennis is making her transcend boundaries he is sure she would not have before without getting involved with the sport. Mike said: “She has confidence. At 11/12 years old, she has confidence in herself.”
Mike also thinks his daughter has inherited his dedication. According to him, she is very disciplined on her own, getting up early to prepare her meals, shower, and go to the gym, where she remains until 4 pm.
That dedication has shown Mike that Milan is diligent about her goals. Her commitment at a young age makes the retired boxer proud.
Mike said: “I’m very proud to have someone in my family who understands that sometimes things don’t go your way. That’s what life is about, sometimes things don’t go your way, and you handle your situations and misfortunes.”

While her father is worth millions, Milan’s net worth at her current age is reported to be around $500,000. Aside from playing Tennis, Milan is interested in fashion and has established herself as a fashionpreneur.

Milan is lucky to have found something she wishes to pursue, and fans can’t wait to see if she will be the new Serena Williams of Tennis. Like Milan, Serena’s father, Richard Williams, played a key role in her success.
