Heavyweight champion boxer, one of the toughest pro fighters of all-time, and all-around colorful personality, Mike Tyson, will be signing autographs at DC Sports (Detroit City Sports) inside Lakeside Mall!
Once known as ‘Kid Dynamite‘, Tyson is one of the world’s most well-known personalities and creator of some of the best and funniest quotes of all time.
Tyson has stated numerous times that “I love visiting Detroit,” so we’re hoping he’s in a good mood.
At 10 years old in 1976, Tyson ran with the Puma Boys burglary gang in Brownsville, Brooklyn, NYC.
In March 1980, human wrecking ball Mike Tyson began training with legendary boxing trainer Cus D’Amato from the Bronx, and his life changed forever.
By 1987, Mike Tyson had his own Nintendo game called ‘Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!‘
Tyson went on to become Heavyweight Champion of the World.
Currently, Mike Tyson has a pigeon coop at his house. He is a well-known long-time lover and advocate of pigeons.
He’s written two books: Undisputed Truth (2013) and Iron Ambition (2018).
He owns Tyson Ranch, a 40-acre cannabis compound in California’s Mojave Desert.
He hosts a brilliant podcast called Hotboxin with Mike Tyson.
