He tuakana tana ko Rodney (whanau c. 1961) me te tuahine matua ko Denise, i mate i te mate ngakau i te 24 o ona tau i te Hui-tanguru 1990. Ko te papa koiora o Tyson kua tohua ko "Purcell Tyson" (i ahu mai i Jamaica) i runga i tana tiwhikete whanautanga, engari ko te tangata i mohiotia e Tyson ko tana papa ko Jimmy Kirkpatrick. Ko Kirkpatrick no Grier Town, North Carolina (he rohe pango i whakauruhia e te taone nui o Charlotte), i reira ko ia tetahi o nga kaitakaro petipeti pai o te takiwa. I marenatia a Kirkpatrick, a he tama ta raua, ko te tuakana o Tyson a Jimmie Lee Kirkpatrick, nana nei i awhina ki te whakauru i te whutupaoro kura tuarua o Charlotte i te tau 1965. I te tau 1959, ka mahue a Jimmy Kirkpatrick i tona whanau ka neke ki Brooklyn, i reira ia i tutaki ai ki te whaea o Tyson, a Lorna Mae (Smith) Tyson. I haere tonu a Kirkpatrick ki ngā whare piriara, i petipeti, i noho ki ngā huarahi. "He tangata noa iho taku papa i te ao o te huarahi", te kī a Tyson. I whakarere a Kirkpatrick i te whanau Tyson i te wa i whanau ai a Mike, ka waiho te whaea o Tyson ki te tiaki anake i nga tamariki. I mate a Kirkpatrick i te tau 1992. I noho te whanau ki Bedford-Stuyvesant tae noa ki te wa i neke atu ai a Tyson ki Brownsville i te 10 o ona tau. E ono tau i muri mai ka mate te whaea o Tyson, ka waiho a Tyson 16-tau-tau ki te tiaki i te kaiwhakahaere mekemeke me te kaiwhakaako a Cus D'Amato, nana nei i riro tana kaitiaki ture. I kii a Tyson i muri mai, "Kare au i kite i taku whaea e koa ana ki ahau, e whakapehapeha ana ki ahau mo te mahi i tetahi mea: i mohio noa ia ki ahau hei tamaiti mohoao e rere ana i nga huarahi, e hoki mai ana ki te kaainga me nga kakahu hou kaore i utua e ia. Kāore au i whai wā ki te kōrero ki a ia, ki te mōhio rānei ki a ia. I roto i tana tamarikitanga katoa, i noho a Tyson i roto i nga takiwa e noho tata ana ki te nui o te hara. E ai ki tētahi uiuinga i roto i ngā Taipitopito, ko tana whawhai tuatahi ki tētahi taitamariki nui ake, nāna i unu te matenga o tētahi o ngā pihi a Tyson. He maha nga wa i whakahaua ai a Tyson...
