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 !
