When the name Mike Tyson is uttered, several things come into an individual’s mind. These might include him being the baddest man alive, a legendary, undisputed heavyweight champion, and a cultural icon. However, another one of his character-defining traits is his profound love for pigeons. As such, during a recent episode of Hotboxin with Mike Tyson, he revealed how this fascination started.
The famous American rapper Rick Ross appeared as a special guest during the episode. As such, Ross mentioned how he personally loves animals and brought up Tyson’s well-known love for pigeons. Many boxing fans are also aware that Tyson got into his first fight because of one of his pigeons. Subsequently, Ross asked Tyson who taught him about pigeons.
They told me to go in this abandoned building, and I didn't know what to say. I went to the building, and we climbed on the roof, and I saw a pigeon cage with birds aroundMike Tyson via Hotboxin with Mike Tyson
Tyson used to live in Brooklyn, New York and had a harsh upbringing. He was bullied quite often when he was 10 years old. This prompted him to avoid going to school. However, one day some older kids approached him. They asked him for some money and later asked Tyson to hang out with them.

Tyson responded with a quick reply and fist-bumped Ross to show that he was ready to appear in the album. The rapper responded by stating that he needed Tyson to ‘spit a verse’ and Tyson agreed. The former champion also spoke about ‘Nadir’, which is the opposite of ‘Zenith’. Subsequently, Tyson mentioned that his ‘Nadir’ or lowest point was when his daughter passed away.
