Mike Tyson, back in the retro era, was one of the most debatable boxing stars of all time. He broke into the limelight with his colossal knockout power and flamboyant personality. On top of that, Tyson’s overall life was full of trials and controversies, which made him an unusual star in the sport.
He lived an exorbitant life in his prime boxing days and was known for spending millions of dollars on buying the most expensive gifts for himself. Once, Tyson even bought a couple of tiger cubs in the early 1990s. He had one of them as his pet for a whopping 16 years.
Recently, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ shared a string of pictures on his Instagram handle. In one of these pics, ‘Iron’ Mike can be seen choking his tiger lightly.

Tyson’s pet tiger’s name was Kenya, and she weighed around 550 pounds. ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ was attached to this pet. Once, Kenya even attacked a lady who jumped onto Tyson’s garden, in order to play with the pet tiger.
Tyson had to part ways with Kenya as she turned old. But his love and affection for pets still continues, and today, ‘Iron’ Mike has hundreds of pigeons.
Will there be another Mike Tyson?
