Boxing legend Mike Tyson has had a tumultuous life, to say the least. The former heavyweight champion often made headlines for his behavior outside the ring throwing lavish parties and entertaining all sorts of guests. However, as time passed by, ‘Iron’ Mike settled down to marry Robin Givens making her his first wife. However, their relationship would not come to a happy ending with the couple splitting in 1989.

Tyson is now married to his current wife Lakiha Spicer, and the couple has so far spent 14 years together. Recently, Tyson stated that he feels he was “played” in his past relationships, during an episode of his podcast Hotboxin’. In the same episode, ‘Iron’ Mike also revealed how many kids he has.

In the episode, Tyson was asked by guest rapper Blueface how many children he had. Tyson would then claim that his wife taught him how to count his many offsprings as he tried to remember how many kids he actually has.

“They taught me how to do this. I have two children with my current wife, two with my ex-wife, one with my ex-girlfriend, and who else? I have Mikey, I still don’t, I’m still missing three babies,” he said.

This was not all, as he then revealed that he was “played” after Blueface tried to claim that Tyson was a “player”. Tyson stated that he was not the man people thought he was, rather he was the victim as he got “played”. “No I wasn’t, I wasn’t a player at all. I was never a player, I was the played, not the player,” said Tyson. Tyson’s admission certainly sparks a conversation about the role of manipulation and exploitation in relationships.
