Legendary boxer Mike Tyson certainly has some interesting stories from his past, and most of them typically involve his girlfriends.

The former heavyweight champion, now 55, also recently recounted how he decided to end a relationship because his girlfriend at the time cooked one of his pigeons in front of him.

Growing up in New York, Tyson developed a love for pigeons and cared for them like adorable little pets.

In fact, his love for the birds was so immense that he once knocked a bin man who threw a pigeon into the bin.

While speaking on the radio show Boomer and Carton in 2013, Tyson gave a hilarious account on how he “tried” to taste one of his birds when he was dating a lady who pretty much wanted to eat the pigeons.

"I was dating this young lady, and she said, 'I don't know why you're flying those birds. You should be eating them.' Tyson narrated.

"She happened to grab one and - she cooked one and proceeded to eat it. And I just couldn't do it."

According to Tyson, his lover boiled the bird and to him, it did not sit right.

"It just wasn't the right thing to do. That's why she's not my woman anymore."

Asked why he did not stop her from cooking the bird, Tyson said at the time he was living off her so she had the upper hand in terms of decisions around the house.

In addition, Tyson revealed that he once fought with a bully who ripped the head off his pet.

"The guy ripped the head off my pigeon. This was the first thing I ever loved in my life, the pigeon," Tyson explained.
