Rodney Tyson is well-known as the brother of Mike Tyson, an American former professional boxer who is likewise regarded as one of the finest heavyweight fighters. Rodney works as a surgical assistant at the LAC+USC Medical Center in Los Angeles. Prior to that, he was a medical corpsman in the United States Navy.
Happily married
Tammy, Rodney’s wife, and he enjoy each other’s company. They are still together despite not knowing their wedding’s exact date. The couple got married, had a child, and relocated to Los Angeles, California.
Despite being a famous boxer’s brother, he generally avoids the spotlight. Jimmy Kirkpatrick and Lorna Smith Tyson, his parents, had been cohabitating but had never wed. His father was a well-known baseball player in the area.
After Mike was born, they got divorced, and his mother became a single parent. Mike characterized his mother as a complex woman who gave men a lot to think about.
She had numerous partners, some of whom would visit and imbibe at their residences. When they were drunk, Mike would slash their pockets and rob them.
She lived with her final partner until her death in 1982. On his birth certificate, Purcell Tyson is named as Mike’s biological father, but Mike had always known Jimmy to be his father.

Mike’s failure to fully get to know his mother led to emotional and mental trauma
By the time Mike was thirteen, his family’s position had gotten worse as a result of his 38 arrests. He acknowledged in his book The Undisputed Truth that he never had a close relationship with his mother.
He was robbed of the love, hope, and security he could have received from his mother by one of the medical professionals who flooded her ears with insults such as “messed up” and “mentally retarded.”
