BOXING legend Mike Tyson took an unusual trip to a remote village in Poland.<\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s so he could splash out on 100 PIGEONS.<\/p>\n Tyson, 57, is famous all over the world for being one of boxing\u2019s most iconic fighters.<\/p>\n The former world heavyweight champion won 50 of his 58 bouts after earning a reputation as a KO artist.<\/p>\n But now that he\u2019s retired, Tyson has plenty of hobbies on the side.<\/p>\n The ace hosts one of the most popular podcasts around.<\/p>\n And he is also the owner of a lucrative cannabis empire, earning a mind-boggling \u00a3500,000 each month.<\/p>\n However, Tyson also has another passion \u2014 pigeons.<\/p>\n The softie has been caring for the birds since his early years growing up in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n And Tyson stunned locals this week when he rocked up to a remote village in Poland.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Piatnica Poduchowna is located in the north-east of the country and has a population of just 1,800.<\/p>\n But Tyson made the 5,748 mile journey from his home in Las Vegas to acquire not just one but 100 pigeons.<\/p>\n Brilliant pictures showed Tyson posing with a local pigeon trader while showing off his trademark clenched fist.<\/p>\n The boxing icon is sure to be delighted with his purchase, having forged a deep bond with pigeons throughout his life.<\/p>\n Reflecting on his relationship with the birds, Tyson previously said: \u201cI always loved pigeons ever since I was a child.<\/p>\n \u201cThey teach us the importance of being compassionate.<\/p>\n \u201cThey were my escape. I was fat and ugly. Kids teased me all the time, the only joy I had was pigeons.\u201d<\/p>\n On one occasion, Tyson even dumped a partner after she tried making him eat a pigeon.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cI tried, I tried (to eat one). I was dating this young lady and she said \u2018I don\u2019t know why you\u2019re flying those damn birds, you should be eating them\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cShe happened to grab one and cooked one and proceeded to eat it, And I just couldn\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt just wasn\u2019t the right thing to do. That\u2019s why she\u2019s not my woman anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n Tyson has also revealed he KO\u2019d a binman who dumped the body of his favourite pigeon in a dumpster.<\/p>\n Tyson said: \u201cOne morning i woke up and found my favourite pigeon had died.<\/p>\n \u201cI was devastated, I left the crate and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate in a crusher.<\/p>\n \u201cI rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand, he was out cold.\u201d<\/p>\n
