Iron Mike likes sport that goes back before Christ

Mike Tyson is starring in a reality show, “Taking on Tyson,” which comes out March 6 and features his pigeons in competition with others in New York and New Jersey. “It’s a sport that goes back to before Christ,” said Tyson, who owns 2,500 pigeons. He raised them while growing up but never raced them until now. Tyson also is in the sequel to “The Hangover” which comes out May 26, and next month he’ll be shooting “Men in Black 3.” “I think I’m going to go full-speed ahead and start participating in acting. I used to act when I was younger in some friends’ movies, but I didn’t know I wanted to do it. Now I’m interested.” — Las Vegas Review-Journal
