was mike tysons father a white man?.

[catskills23]

His biological father was black!

Just because Mike talked with a high pitched, white boy accent doesn't mean his dad was white. Let's not get it twisted.

its nothing to do with his high pitched voice. his father name was kirkpatrick that is an irish name which means he was of irish ancestry.

yeah but his biological fathers father was a white man who married a black woman?.

then Tyson would be 1/4 white!! Tyson doesn't have any white features as such, and he's a dark guy.

Tyson's father was a mulatto pimp and womanizer who abandoned him when he was very young.

His paternal grandfather was a white immigrant from Ireland who married a black woman.

White guys on Boxingscene are gonna claim Tyson as 1 of their own after this thread. Never heard about him being mixed with Irish or w.e. but I wouldn't be shocked if he was. Imo, the majority of African-Americans who's skin color is considerably lighter then a guy like Mayweather, has some type of white blood mixed in there. Look at Ali, he has Irish blood himself.

Tyson is lighter than Sam Peter or Antonio Tarver. He has shorter arms and legs like a white guy. He has mostly black but some white features.

I agree. Go to Africa and try to find a native that looks like Tyson. They all are as dark as Josh Clottey, so I would assume it's safe to say Tyson has some white in him somewhere down the line.

He could be related to Barry McGuigan perhaps?

Exactly bro, u aint finding no natives that look like Tyson in Africa. They all will resemble Clottey and some even darker then Joshua.
