Agreed. There seems to be a clear effort among editors to obscure this detail of his image; many editors remain adamant that 'convicted rapist' stay far from his info box as well. 67.144.42.123 (talk) 20:00, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Monica Turner (2nd wife) – two children; son Amir and Ramsey
Sol Xochitl (not his wife) – four-year-old daughter Exodus, deceased
Lakiha "Kiki" Spicer (3rd wife) – two children; daughter Milan and son Morocco
It also states that "in addition to his biological children, Tyson includes his second wife's oldest daughter as one of his own." I don't know if she's included in the total of seven children mentioned, but one or two are not listed. Anyways, while four women are mentioned, he only had children with three of them.

I thought I'd drop this here since you made that edit, and I made another. I can't help with the discrepancy--I have a hard enough time keeping up with my own children. Drmies (talk) 00:54, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Under the "Type" column are several acronyms. I know what KO, TKO, SD, UD, and DQ mean, but not familiar with RTD. Would someone please add a key to this table explaining all these acronyms, or point me to one, and I'll add it myself? 2600:100F:B1B8:4B4B:7DEE:CF66:7ECB:2BE (talk) 18:01, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There should be a tooltip if you hover over the abbreviations on their first instance, starting from the bottom of the table. "RTD" stands for corner retirement. But you're right, a key would be very helpful to readers unfamiliar with boxing, and has been mooted a few times in the past. I'll put in a fresh mention at WikiProject Boxing.

It feels slightly disingenuous to have such a short blurb regarding Tyson's political views — though it is true he publicly endorsed Trump in 2015, this article later states his support for Palestinian liberation, his continued advocacy for Islam , and his strong pro-drug beliefs. It is well-documented that Tyson has been infatuated with Communism and political revolutionaries following his stint in prison, and these details all paint a much more accurate picture of Mike Tyson's complex political views. 67.144.42.123 (talk) 19:57, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
