No boxer in the world ever experienced a life like that of Mike Tyson. The American boxer was the brash star of the sport in his elite boxing days. Rewards and controversies were commonplace throughout Tyson’s career.
‘Iron’ Mike never really took his family out in the limelight. But was in the news for a long when he was cited as the brother of Neil deGrasse Tyson, who is an astrophysicist and planetary scientist.
In a fictional comic video shared on YouTube 3 years ago, Tyson was seen waltzing to his brother’s house at midnight. The duo subsequently shared a conversation that left fans around the world in splits.

In this video, Tyson was driving a car at midnight with his daughter, a friend, and a pigeon. All of them were hunting for a house abruptly but weren’t getting one. An idea soon struck Tyson’s mind, and he suggested driving to his brother, Neil deGrasse Tyson’s house.
The trio soon landed at the elder Tyson’s doorstep, parking their 4-wheeler to the side. ‘Iron’ knocked on the door and his brother opened it. It stunned elder Tyson to see his brother after so many years. Mike Tyson then asked him if he can stay at his house for a few ‘months’ or a couple of ‘years’.
Neil deGrasse Tyson then said, “I’m terribly sorry but I’m in the middle of writing an important essay on multiple universes, or the multiverse, in which I explore how our own universe is simply one of the countless bubbles bursting forth from the fabric of the cosmos.”
