MIKE TYSON has showcased his immense love of pigeons once again by sharing a video KISSING one of his winged pets.
The 55-year-old has been smitten with the animals ever since he was a young 10-year-old child.

And now in a video shared to his Instagram account, Tyson is seen handling a docile white bird.

But the company of just one pigeon wasn’t enough for animal lover Tyson.
The self proclaimed ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ then moved inside and was joined by a whole flock of them.
He smiled and chuckled as he milled around amongst the pigeons, moving his arm to send them flying around the room in front of him.
Tyson is no stranger to showing off his feathered friends to fans online.
Back in 2020 he posted a video of himself relaxing and feeding his winged pets ahead of his exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr.
He has always had a love for pigeons, and revealed that it was the honour of one that drew his first punch as a ten-year-old.
He said in the past: “The guy ripped the head off my pigeon. This was the first thing I ever loved in my life, the pigeon.
“That was the first time I threw a punch.
“I have loved pigeons since I was nine. They were my escape.
“I was fat and ugly. Kids teased me all the time. The only joy I had was pigeons.”
