Mikey Lorna Tyson, who was named after her father, had a rough start. According to The Buffalo News, the boxer didn't even officially admit he was her father until she was already eight months old. Even before that, her mother Kimberly Scarborough almost didn't have her daughter at all.

In an interview with the Daily News, Scarborough claimed she initially went to an abortion clinic because "Mike told [her] to get rid of" the child — of course, they didn't follow through. Apparently, fatherhood wasn't inherent for the boxer and he "wasn't happy about" it. At the time, Scarborough was living in a modest Harlem apartment with Mikey and Mikey's nine-year-old half brother. Eventually, though, the boxer came around. "Now we both shudder to think of what we almost did that day," Scarborough said.

Despite whatever spats the pair had about money, Mike, who was incarcerated at the time of the Daily News interview, wanted to be "a proper dad" upon his release. Scarborough and Mikey reportedly visited him in prison every two weeks, and he apparently called them weekly. "He wants to know if she's saying her prayers and doing enough homework. He wanted her to attend this school because it is very strict," Scarborough told the outlet.

At the time of this writing, Mikey is all grown up. Judging by her Instagram account, she's living a relatively low-key life and loves posting photos of her cooking.
