Tyson says he never hurt anybody until somebody hurt one of his birds.
Today, Tyson owns a few hundred pigeons and keeps them in his lofts in Brooklyn and Jersey City.
‘Taking On Tyson’ focuses on pigeon racing and he competes with top pigeon racers in his city. Mike Tyson is focusing on becoming a top “bird man” in the class of pigeon racers.
“I may have stopped fighting but I never stopped flying birds. It’s my first love,” say Tyson.
