Mike is right, about getting attached to pigeons.we race pigeons, that’s me and my father, father’s been racing them 60yrs + but the beauty is you are in control,you cross breed,inbreed to create a champion or two,when you attchieve that,then it as all been wearth while. our racing season starts April can’t wait. good luck 2012 season
Great interview. I can empathise with Mike Tyson on so many levels! I started keeping pigeons at the age of 10. Had my first fight over a pigeon too! I think I am close to Mike’s age being born in 1966. & I have been teaching & training ‘bare-knuckle’ pre-queensberry rules boxing since 1983. Keep those birds flying Mike ! Always in your corner !
