Amir Tyson, son of boxing legend Mike Tyson, is forging his own path as an entrepreneur and media personality, far from the ring.

A weighty surname, a different life

Being Mike Tyson's son is no small feat. The figure of “Iron Mike,” undisputed heavyweight champion and absolute symbol of world boxing, has marked the history of the sport and also the lives of his children. But Amir Tyson has decided to take a different path: away from the ring, he has focused on building his own path as an entrepreneur, media figure, and even a style icon.

Boxer? No. Privileged observer, yes

The inevitable question of whether he will follow in his father's footsteps has always been with Amir. His response has been quiet but firm: he doesn't need to step into the ring to prove who he is. And even though he's not a boxer, no one doubts that he has a deep understanding of the sport, fueled by years of closely observing one of the most influential icons in boxing history.
In fact, Amir has been clear with his opinion regarding other celebrities who try to venture into boxing. After seeing figures such as Shaquille O'Neal training with former champions, he posted on social media:
“There are so many NFL and NBA players who could have been title contenders if they had chosen this profession.”
With this reflection, he demonstrates both respect for the sport and clarity in identifying talent, even outside the professional circuit.

The legacy he is creating

It is acknowledged that he grew up under constant public scrutiny, with all the advantages and pressures that entails. There has even been speculation that he has dabbled in boxing training, such as when he expressed interest in challenging Logan Paul to a fight in the ring, prompting a warning from his father.
