Mike Tyson welcomes his new baby Morocco Elijah Tyson
January 28th, 2011 - 12:12 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattHenderson, Jan 27 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Boxing legend Mike Tyson welcomed his eighth child to the world.
The baby, Morocco Elijah Tyson is the second child between the former heavyweight champion and his wife, Lakiha Spicer. The People reported that the baby was born in Henderson, Nevada and at birth, the baby weighed healthy 8 lbs, 13 oz. The baby measured 19 inches in length, according to the report.
Mike Tyson’s rep told People that, “He is such a sweet and calm baby. Mike and Kiki are overwhelmed with joy to welcome their son to the Tyson family.”
Tyson and Spicer welcomed their first baby, Milan, two years ago. Tyson tragically lost his 4-year-old daughter to a domestic accident almost two years ago. The loss of Exodus was particularly very difficult for Tyson, who also found it very difficult to talk about it when he appeared on Oprah’s show.
The once most dreaded boxer on the planet famously bit the ear of Evander Hollyfield during a boxing bout.
Mike Tyson was previously married to Robin Givens. After that marriage failed, he again married another star, Monica Turner but that marriage also failed. His other five children are; Rayna, Amir, Mikey, Miguel and D’Mato.
