Mike Tyson has been in the spotlight ever since he made his first boxing appearance in the sport in 1985. He is an undeniable star of the game who had the audacity to change the sport with his magnetic persona. That said, he still ranks among the most renowned faces of boxing and he puts the retro as well as new boxing lovers in a frenzy with his activities.

Over the course of time, Tyson has shown his love for the sport of boxing. But alongside that, there’s something that he equally loves and that’s his pigeons. For a long time now, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ has stayed vocal about his love for these birds and he also has several pigeons residing in his mansion.

How many pigeons does Mike Tyson have? 

Per CheatSheet, Tyson owns over 1,000 pigeons, and at one point he spent around a whopping $400,000 a month on their maintenance. However, there’s no clear news of his pigeons’ total worth. But, once in an interview, Tyson even asserted on buying a pigeon worth a staggering $2 million.

This itself shows the amount of love he has for these birds and his love for them has sustained over countless years.
