Givens who described her life with Tyson as, “torture, pure hell, worse than anything I could possibly imagine,” married him in Feb 1988.

Due to these issues, Mike couldn’t become a good father to his daughter Mikey. Mike himself admitted he hadn’t always been a good father in an interview with MTV in 2009.
“I’m really working to recreate my relationship…rebuild my relationship with my children.”
He added,
“When I was Iron Mike Tyson, I neglected my children, I neglected the people I was in love with at one time. I’m getting the brunt of it right now, in this stage in my life. I’m starting to feel the pain and effects from it. I would like to rekindle that relationship.”
