Mike Tyson Appeared In A Ukrainian Vyshyvanka At A Boxing All-star Parade In New York

The legendary boxer has a personal connection to Ukraine.

Boxing star Mike Tyson drew attention with his outfit at the World Boxing All-Star Parade. The 60-year-old former world heavyweight champion chose to wear a Ukrainian vyshyvanka to the event. This was noted by Dialog.UA.

Photos of Tyson wearing the embroidered shirt caused a stir on Ukrainian social media. It’s worth noting that the legendary boxer has a personal connection to Ukraine. As a child, he was raised by a Ukrainian woman, Camilla Ewald, who was born in the Ternopil region.

Under D’Amato’s guidance and with Ewald’s support, Tyson began his boxing career. He went on to become one of the most famous heavyweights in history.

Tyson also spoke out publicly in support of Ukraine after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion. In June 2022, he recorded a video message to the Ukrainian people, saying: “People of Ukraine, I am with you!”


That same month, Tyson spoke about the war on the show hosted by American TV personality Alex Jones. According to the boxer, what is happening has become “a war against humanity.” He also noted that Russia is losing the information war.
