Animal Planet Show Features Mike Tyson and his Pigeons

Mike Tyson’s new reality series, “Taking on Tyson,” debuted on Animal Planet Sunday, March 6 and runs for five more Sundays. The show centers around former world heavyweight champ Tyson and his homing pigeons. The fighter started raising the birds when he was a boy growing up in a tough section of Brooklyn. In the show, Tyson and a group of friends from New York and New Jersey start racing the birds. But they have competition.
