Mike Tyson – Pigeons
Back in the day, he was known as the ferocious heavyweight king, who once bit off someone’s ear. (And other controversies we’ll not bring up again.)
These days ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson has a new hobby – pigeon racing. Tyson began collecting pigeons in his youth and now owns thousands of them, finding them “therapeutic”.
In fact, you could even say his success as a fighter was prompted by his love for pigeons. When he was just 10, he threw his first punch after he was confronted by a thug who killed one of his pigeons in Brooklyn, New York. Crazy!
