Trash talk

Legend Mike Tyson has recently revealed he once knocked out a garbage man with a ‘Titanic right hand’ for putting his favourite pigeon in the bin.

Mike Tyson is arguably the most feared boxer of all time, he also holds a fixation with pigeons, and it's been this way since his youth. On one occasion, his obsession became violent.

Tyson just ten-years-old when he lost his best pigeon called Julius. But before he could hold a proper memorial, a bin man noticed Julius lifeless on a crate and disposed of him.

Speaking to World Boxing Council, Tyson revealed: "One morning I woke up and found my favourite pigeon, Julius, had died. I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honour him.

"I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher.

"I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a Titanic right hand, he was out cold."
