‘Taking On Tyson,’ reported by others as “Take On Tyson” is a show about Tyson’s secret obsession with — birds — specifically, pigeons.
His love for the birds started when he was 10 years old. He used to clean his neighbor’s pigeon coops and was allowed to keep the strays as pets. Tyson says he used to steel milk cartons to shelter the birds. He even says the birds were his inspiration to start fighting.
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.
Mike Tyson New Reality Show, ‘Taking On Tyson’ is set to start filming this spring and is expected to air early 2011.
