    Did Mike Tyson have Irish ancestry?.

    Did Mike Tyson have Irish ancestry?. His fathers name was kirkpatrick, which is an Irish name. Did Tyson ever speak of having any Irish ancestry?.

    I doubt he ever spoke of it, or even knows.

        Mike looks part Asian or Native American to me. Dude's definitely mixed somewhere down the line.

          That's true but tbh, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who wasn't somewhat mixed race.

            I heard that Tysons father Jimmy Kirkpatrick was the son of an african american mother and a northern irish father. Is this true?.

                There was a study done where they took Black Americans of all colors (Seal/dark skinned black and Rhianna light skinned black) and they werent able to find 1 person that was pure blooded. All of them had white family somewhere in their genes.

                So im sure Tyson has Irish/Scottish/English genes in him. Everyone does

                  I bet Holyfield has Native American or European blood. I always thought he was too square-jawed for a black guy. Lol. Its true, he has Indian features.
