Tyson: Start your pigeons

Former
Former

Former world heavyweight champ Mike Tyson will take flight on Animal Planet with a new sport — pigeon racing.

The network this week announced a new reality show that will pit Tyson, a novice pigeon racer, against serious competitors.

The show is currently titled “Taking on Tyson” and promises to bring audiences inside this “intensely competitive and bizarrely fascinating world.”

So... are you planning to tune in? I'd hate to see what he'll do to the pigeons who don't perform well.
