Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has had some life-changing experiences. Fans also know that the boxer loves exotic animals. In a very famous photograph, Tyson could be seen posing with a tiger with a leash around its neck. Joe Rogan thought it was a ‘crazy’ picture.

A few years back, ‘Iron’ was a guest at ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. They discussed his pet tigers. It turns out that Tyson had raised them from the time they were cubs. Thus, he also explained how he went on to those tigers from a friend.

According to Mike Tyson, his friend told him how he could get animals in exchange for cars. He was having this conversation from jail. That’s how he ended up with tigers.

Speaking about it, even Tyson was questioning what he was thinking at that particular time. He explained while laughing, “What was going through my mind? I don’t know what made me think about, my friends said ‘Mike, you can get some awesome animals’ and I’m saying ‘Really? Are you serious? I’m gonna get some horses.”

They went on to discuss other personalities too who have had a penchant for exotic animals. As per their discussion, wealthy people have the tendency to keep unusual animals as pets.
