Mike Tyson Is Heading to Animal Planet To Show Off Pigeon Racing Skills

Oh Mike Tyson! The world would be a far less entertaining place without him. But I think Mikey has truly outdone himself this time. The disgraced boxer is teaming up with Animal Planet for a series about pigeon racing. Yes, there is such a thing as pigeon racing and of course Mike Tyson would be a part of it. While some athletes will turn to another sport, pick up television gigs here and there, Mike, as usual, had to go the road not only less traveled, but completely roadblocked, abandoned and forsaken. But if it wasn’t bad enough that Mike Tyson has made his way to Animal Planet, he actually fancies himself quite the pigeon expert:

“I’m honored to be a part of this monumental show on Animal Planet. I feel a great pride acting as an official representative for all the pigeon fancier’s out there. I want people to see why we love these birds. It feels good returning to the rooftops of the city where it all started for me – New York.”

Monumental show? I have a little trouble believing the significant impact that Mike Tyson and his pigeons are going to have on animal lovers far and wide.
