Mike Tyson once offered a New York zookeeper $10,000 to make it happen.
's always been an animal lover. He likes his pigeons and famously owned and cared some cats. We're not talking about your ordinary domestic pets; we're talking exotic tigers.In the 80's, when Tyson was an unbeaten heavyweight-wrecking machine, he went to a zoo with his then-partner Robin Givens.As he sauntered past the gorilla enclosure, he noticed a gorilla picking on the other primates.
He was prepared to offer the zookeeper $10,000 to open the cage so he could go in there to smack a gorilla."When we got to the gorilla cage there was one big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas."They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined."Another Tyson story shows a softer side to the former world heavyweight champion. Kind of.
Speaking about his childhood, he recalled: "One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him.
