Adversity has always been part of Mike Tyson’s life! However, the loss of his four-year-old daughter pushed the heavyweight champion to his limits. Back in March 2009, Mike’s daughter, Exodus, sadly passed away due to a horrific treadmill accident. However, his daughter never left Mike’s mind, so to keep his late daughter’s legacy alive, Mike Tyson got a new tattoo. 

In a surprising twist of fate, a tattoo artist turned to Instagram, sharing a clip of Mike getting the new tattoo. The artist wrote, “I had one of the best days of my life yesterday. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality to you and your amazing family.” What’s more, the tattoo depicted the face of Mike’s daughter, beautifully inked on his left pectoral muscle.

The clip began with a message from the tattoo artist, describing how Mike asked him to do the tattoo. “3 Days Ago…Mike Tyson asked me to tattoo a portrait of his daughter, Exodus,” wrote the artist. The clip went on to show Mike getting the tattoo as the artist glided his tattoo machine along Mike’s chest. 

Mike even posed for a picture after the tattoo was finished, followed by him visiting a lake, admiring the serene and calming view. At the end of the clip, the tattoo artist thanked the former heavyweight champion. The artist wrote, “Thank you for your trust, Mike.” With that out of the way, here’s how Mike terrified an interviewer when asked about his daughter.
