Mike Tyson Sold His Pet Tiger of 16 Years and Got a Dog Instead

Whatever came about to Mike Tyson's pet tiger? The cherished former heavyweight boxing champion and now marijuana multi-millionaire shared why he sold her.

When it comes to the world of battle sports, there are a few names that stand tall above the remaining. If you ask anyone to create a list of some of probably the most feared boxers on the earth, Mike Tyson is top on that list, particularly when one considers how temporarily he reached the very best levels of the sport. But there are lots of questions about his larger-than-life existence. 

For many years, Mike Tyson owned several pet tigers, one named Kenya. What happened to her?

Mike Tyson's life is complete of loopy stories and what took place to his tiger, Kenya, is just one of them.

During an appearance on The Joe Rogan Podcast, Mike Tyson defined why he made up our minds to purchase tigers in the first position. According to the champ, he bought the big cats while he used to be still in the back of bars for his 1992 rape conviction, a conviction that Mike and his felony group nonetheless say used to be rendered unfairly.

The jury ultimately convicted Mike, and he informed Joe that while he was locked up, he was at the phone with a automotive dealer about buying a new vehicle, but instead bought a tiger for $71,000.

He delved into his dating with his liked tiger, Kenya, and his determination to ultimately give the animal up, in an interview with GQ. 

No, Mike Tyson does no longer still have his pet tiger.

(*16*) Mike Tyson said. "I had a great affection for her; I kept her, I slept with her, I kept her in my room. She stayed with me; I had her for about 16 years. But she got too old and I had to get rid of her when her eyes and her head got bad. Oh, and she ripped somebody’s arm off."

Mike went in-depth about the incident, stating that a neighbor had jumped into his yard and began taking part in with Kenya. However, since his tiger wasn't familiar with the neighbor, she attacked the girl.

The boxer-turned-entrepreneur states that the lady attempted suing him but when his legal professionals had evidence the woman was at fault for hopping the fence, the lawsuit was dropped.

Mike states that as a result of "she was just f--ked up," he made up our minds to offer "her $250,000 or whatever it was" because he used to be making a lot of cash at the time and felt unhealthy for her and the wounds she sustained.

Mike acknowledges that it was once flawed to stay a wild animal like a tiger in his house. In an Instagram Live with rapper Fat Joe, per Insider, Mike mentioned, "I loved them, I used to sleep with them. I'm just happy I educated myself, I know it was late … but I was doing the wrong s--t. I shouldn't have had them in my house. I was wrong."

Mike Tyson does not have his tigers anymore; instead, he now owns a poodle named Mars. He even has his personal Instagram account. But whilst he is given up the wild animals of his past, he will be revisiting every other infamous second quickly.

The video of Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield's ear goes viral again forward of their coming near near struggle.

In what is one of the most viral second in boxing history, Mike Tyson, annoyed through the alleged headbutts Evander Holyfield saved landing on him of their battle, bit off part of Holyfield's ear in retaliation.

The two men are reportedly working on a 3rd battle, especially after the large payout "Iron" Mike gained for his bout in opposition to Roy Jones Jr.

Metro stories that the 2 legends are lately training for the bout this is "signed, sealed, delivered." Mike Tyson stunned the web after training pictures of him surfaced sooner than any announcement of his fight with Jones. The exhibition bout culminated in an "unofficial draw," however many people heavily scored the combat with Tyson as the winner.

Mike was the clear aggressor all the way through the bout and landed 67 of his 193 punches, with Roy touchdown 27 of 236. Tyson is a current betting favorite in the purported trilogy bout between him and Holyfield.
