Is it me or does the name "Michael" not seem like a daughter-like name I'm sure she also has more to worry about than just being his daughter...probably get's ridiculed for the crazy things her dad does.

TYSON'S DAUGHTER INHERITS DAD'S OBESITY GENE

MIKE TYSON's daughter, MICHAEL, has one major regret about being the child of a heavyweight champion - she's inherited his family's obesity problem. The teenager has battled weight issues for years and insists her famous dad, who weighed in at 200 pounds (90.7 kilograms) when he was 13, would be huge if he wasn't so obsessed with staying in shape. She says, "My father's side, a lot of them, so I heard, are obese, like his sisters, his mother. "I believe if he wasn't a heavyweight champion, if he wasn't constantly working out or watching what he ate, he would be obese." The 15 year old is now hoping to use her heavy problem to her advantage, designing a clothing line for plus-size girls.
