Tyson famously owned a white Bengal tiger in the 1990s

Mike Tyson's daughter makes a huge birthday request as she calls for another tiger Mike Tyson‘s intimidating aura helped him become one of the most feared boxers in history and there’s no doubt the tigers he purchased in the 1990s added to that, and his daughter certainly hasn’t forgot their feline friends as she demands another for her birthday.

The trio of Bengal tigers slowly filtered out of the boxing great’s life with time and age, but it definitely left a mark on Milan Tyson as she remembers Kenya and asks for another big cat after seeing photos of her dad with them.

“@miketyson birthday gift? Please,” Milan Tyson wrote on Instagram. “Please daddy!!! We need one again!”

Milan Tyson is eldest child of Tyson‘s current marriage to Lakiha Spicer and the sixth-youngest of the sporting icon’s children through his life. She was born on December 25 in 2008 and recently launched her own activewear line.

She’s becoming popular online too, as the teenager also boasts 30,000 followers on Instagram. Before her fashion career, she had dreams of becoming a tennis player and even worked with Coco Gauff‘s coach to hone her talent.

The ex-undisputed heavyweight champion of the world could be set to have the money to afford one too following his fight against Jake Paul on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The bout, just down the road from the city of Dallas, will be streamed by Netflix and Tyson‘s purse is thought to be in the region of $30m as the 58-year-old returns to the professional boxing game for the first time since 2005.

Why Mike Tyson won’t buy a pet tiger again

But Tyson might be hesitant to purchase another of the carnivorous animals, which can weigh up to 575lbs after he had to give up Kenya following her attack on a trespasser, leaving them severely injured.

He had to pay a compensation fee of $250,000 to the victim but also added he let her go because she was beginning to get old and started suffering medical conditions as she headed into her later life.

“At one time, I did have a pet tiger,” Tyson said to GQ Sports. “Her name was Kenya, and she was around 550 pounds. I had great affection for her

I kept her; I slept with her; I kept her in my room. She stayed with me. I had her for probably sixteen years. She was a massive monster. You can’t imagine the size of her.

“She got too old, and I had to get rid of her. Her eyes and her hip got bad. And she ripped somebody’s arm off.
