The Former heavy-weight champion Mike Tyson is a lover of birds, pigeons to be exact! The former boxer will premiere on Animal Planet's "Taking on Tyson" airing it's first episode last night.
Viewers will have a chance to see Mike Tyson in a softer light caring for his pigeons and taking part in competitive pigeon racing. Reportedly Tyson's trainer and mentor Cus D'Amato reared pigeons and Tyson also loved pigeons from a young age.
La Times reports, this is something that has really brought meaning to me and my life. This is not a hobby. This is something we’re going to do until the day we die. I love being in my pigeon world. It brings me a calm.
He told USA Today, There are a lot of ups and downs. It’s like fighting, You’re the man as long as you’re winning.
This is an amazing opportunity, to show why I love these birds and how great this sport is. The pigeons are always loyal and loving. And racing pigeons is on a different level but is as competitive and intense as boxing.
Mike Tyson has certainly showed his comedic side in recent years. Most recently he completed a hilarious skit of "The Kings Speech" called "The President's Speech" on Jimmy Kimmel.
