NEW YORK -- Former world heavyweight champ Mike Tyson will take flight on Animal Planet with a new sport -- pigeon racing.
The network this week announced a new reality show that will pit Tyson, a novice pigeon racer, against serious competitors.
The show is currently titled "Taking on Tyson" and promises to bring audiences inside this "intensely competitive and bizarrely fascinating world."
Tyson has raised pigeons all his life but will take to the rooftops as a racing rookie. The network says he'll be assisted by a colorful team of pigeon experts as he rears, trains and races them.
The show is scheduled to be taped this spring in New York City and air early next year.

Next he'll probably start a league for throwing tied together sneakers over telephone lines. The competition will remind him of his childhood and somehow bring back memorys of Cus D'Amato.

good job mike, keep on the downward spiral.

I think this is a step up from what he has been doing

that move "tyson" was good shit

i always have to wonder what he would have become if he never went to prison. if that type of thing happened nowadays he wouldnt have been convicted. just like kobe , the woman who accused him was a deranged psycho. wish tyson had the same chance but he didnt. now hes just a sad shell of his former self and most of the time hes just an idiot now.
