Mike Tyson, who converted to Islam while in jail in the 1990s while serving a 10-year prison sentence, later commuted to three years for raping a US beauty queen in 1991, is visiting the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina on pilgrimage. Mike Tyson received the ‘Ghirlande D’Honneur’ award from Franco Ascani at Just Cavalli Cafe on July 9, 2010 in Milan, Italy.
Looking at these pictures makes me feel bad for the former champion. Besides losing weight, he looks old and stressed out. He doesn’t look happy. I think after Mike Tyson lost his 4 year old daughter, things when down hill.
Two months ago, Mike Tyson was a guest on The View and Tyson talked about his life and said that while he has put most of his demons behind him, money remains a problem.
“I’m totally destitute and broke,” Tyson said.
“How did that happen?” asked Joy Behar.
“I had a lot of fun. It just happened,” he said.
That’s partly why he’s doing a reality TV show on Animal Planet that follows him as he raises and races pigeons in Brooklyn, New York. It’s set to premiere next year.
“I love all birds but what I particularly like are roaming pigeons,” Tyson said.
I just hope things get better for him.

I feel bad for the guy too, It must hurt alot to go from having everything to nothing. To lose a child is the worst thing in the world. My little girl turns 4 this year and it would destroy me if anything were to happen to her. I can only imagen the pain he must feel.I wont get into religion. He’ll mostlikly never see this, But I will say this to Mike. JESUS still answers prayer, He is the same Then, Now, And Forever. GOD BLESS
oneof the greatest champs. a life destroyed by don king and company. young kid alot of money and fame. i still think he wasnt guilty of rape. bullshit case. 3am in a hotel room with a female. what they gonna talk about? family, work, kids, politics?? only reason ill be goin to a telly room at 3am with a female is to make babies not talk about them. he was set up badly. hope he can recover some day god bless this man
Believe it or not, Tyson still has appeal. Can he make it as a boxing analyst /commentator? Just asking.
Sugar Ray Leonard did it.
Lennox Lewis did it.
Currenlty I know of Antonio Tarver, Julio Cesar Chavez, Ruben Olivares, Ricardo Lopez, that are doing it. Yes, that Ruben Olivares, so why not Tyson ??
