Mike Tyson -- heavyweight boxing champion, convicted rapist, occasional actor and, it seems, top-flight pigeon fancier.
Tyson, 44, the boxer who famously bit off part of Evander Holyfield's ear in a 1997 bout, shows a gentler side of himself in an upcoming TV show as a man with a lifelong passion for raising pigeons.
Not just common or garden pigeons, but racing pigeons. Or as Tyson puts it "the creme de la creme of the pigeon world. These are thoroughbred pigeons. Pigeons were mens' first feathered friends". About The Author: Steven Rogers
