I don't know what it is, but I love hearing about this side of Tyson.

This guy who ripped the pigeons head off deserved to get the shit kicked out of him. Ain't no fucking reason to be doing that.

he really does have genuine empathy for those animals. I think that the anger he showed in his youth probably stemmed from how sensitive he really is.

the interviewer is awesome, not to pushy and very respectful!

He’s so strong and fragile at the same time, like a diamond.

The only interviewer that doesn’t try to provoke Mike, just asking nice questions

Somebody stole his pet bird, ripped its head off in front of him, threw the body at him, and smeared him with the blood that was gushing out of its neck. And some people wonder why he was so angry in his younger years.

I had a brush with death about 4yrs ago.. I lost a lot of blood at that time. Then my Son brought me a pigeon on my birthday.. I grew close to this bird. They totally have feelings. My grandma passed away about a year after we got her. She caught me crying on the couch after grandma passed, she walked up to me ever so gently, and sat next to me.. She knew I was upset and provided comfort.. But a week after Grandma passed, Pearly Bird passed too.. She changed the way I look at Pigeons FOREVER!!! ☁️💛🕊️✝️🕊️💛☁️

I love how the interviewer isn’t trying to be smug or clown on Tyson’s passion. He is trying to get an authentic version of Tyson. This is GOLD!!

I love how self conscious he is when he talks about his love for his birds. There’s nothing weird about being connected to animals and wanting to care for them.

It's sad because this was probably a very traumatic experience for him, but it's one of his most well known stories so he has to constantly retell it. It's like a vet with an amazing story that everyone loves to hear, but you can see the PTSD, discomfort and sadness as they recall the horror of it all.

Tyson is so humble and sweet and the interviewer is a breath of fresh air. SO professional and he actually treats people like human beings. He's VERY professional. That is rare!

I like how hes embarrassed and the interviewer is like "No its interesting" because it is and how did you discover them and how did you find peace

It’s heartwarming and heartbreaking that someone as ferocious and tough as mike tyson has a part of him deep down that is still a kid who loves birds.

MIKE TYSON..glad you re still here ...he s not afraid to show himself..true tough amazing individual

Mike's true personality is fragile like a pigeon. He sees peace and tranquility in these birds. You see how caring and calm Mike is talking about his true love for the birds. This is the real Mike Tyson. Boxing, fame and money is not desired by Mike anymore. He hated that lifestyle because it lost it structure when Cus died. Mike's past was a result of a lack of nurture. This is why Mike is nurturing these pigeons with addiction. He is trying to prove he is human and not the animal he was in the past. Greed failed Mike as a boxer and a human when he was a youth. And by the way, if Cus was still with Mike and Mike vs Ali both in their prime. Ali would have joined the army just to avoid Mike. LOL.

These videos honestly deserves more views. Much love for tyson.

I live in Vegas and help homeless people and a guy I help says Mike visits him and gives him $100 and has coffee with him. He's a genuine great guy with soft heart.

I liked Mike Tyson my whole life but now I absolutely love the guy, especially when he's talking about his passion with animals 🐦❤️

Bensinger is an incredible interviewer.

That is so traumatizing. I am so sorry to hear this happened to him. He is so strong.

This is a great Interview. It seems like Mike is really calm in his presence, and he asks the right questions to get an interesting discussion. Great job!

Mike's pigeons were truly his first family he loved.

Some people won’t even stand up for there friends. Mike even stands up for his pidgeons lol 😂 you gotta respect that

Wow it's amazing to see how time and life experience has tempered Iron Mike, good job on the interview and showing the world that Mike is not some crazy violent person.

Just wanna say mate this was an amazing interview you did everything perfect and it was nice to see tyson open up like this, he probably felt nervous about opening up as he has had alot of interviewers take jabs at him or provoke him for no reason. Earnt a sub

Mr bensinger, your interviews are masterful, your choice of questions, and clam manner brings out a refreshing truth in your guests...I wish you the very best and I will continue to enjoy your hard work 😎👍😃

John wick: You touch my dog and your dead. Tyson: You skin my pigeon and your demolished.

Hands down one of the best interviewers! I feel like he makes Mike feel at ease. Mike's stories make me want to learn more about his true character. I feel like he was so misunderstood but he's a genuine person with some past demons.

Fighting for animals is justified

I like that Mike is bashful about his pigeons, it's kinda cute lol no homo.

Nothing at all wrong with loving birds and caring for them. I feed them everyday and mourning doves are some of my favorites. they will keep you calm because if you arent calm, they fly away easily, and this makes you reflect upon yourself more than the bird.

Thought there was a crazy, iconic, and maybe even mythological story behind it: One of the strongest in the world started because of his love for a sensitive, cautious animal. Nice to hear the full story, thought there was a type of symbolism behind it. It would be a good story. Heres the story.

his passion and love just melts my heart xxx see the biggest fighter on the planet just loves birds xxx how gentle this man really is shows you how fierce this world can make a person .. bitter sweet story ..

I can totally relate to everything he's saying. I've been in love with them since i was in middleschool. Many years later still the same 🕊️❤️

Every pigeon fanciers heart fill when they hear Tyson talking about his compassion for flying pigeons..he gets me everytime 💮

He sounds like the most caring person you'll ever meet. I didn't know he actually had pigeons. Mr Tyson, if you're reading this and you actually do have a mystery squad, I'd like to talk to someone about how to submit an application.

Love this interview, Sir! Great job all around

In my life I would love to meet Tyson and just listen to him. Absolutely amazing as a person, Sadly people misunderstood him back in the days

There are pigeon flyers where I come from as well... it's really a love and passion for birds. A hobby of many men, which provides joy and relaxation. It's not as uncommon as one might think. Mike Tyson truly is a very gentle and loving soul, which shines through in this interview.

This explains why he has a pigeon coup in his backyard and a pigeon as a best friend in mike Tyson’s mysteries dope interview 💯

I've watched quite a few of Bensinger interviews, i love that he's always so invested in what the interviewee and what they have to say

00:52 I love the interviewers oh shit! Moment

I wish more people could interview Mike like this

Man.....I'd give anything to meet this dude. He seems like the coolest guy ever. I'm a damn country boy fisherman from Georgia and this dude is so interesting it's ridiculous . Mike if you ever want to go fishing holler at me. Lol.

His love for pigeons is low-key adorable

So heartwarming the childlike bewilderment of Mike and his pigeons I love it.

“The highest form of knowledge is empathy.” Mr. Bensinger got it 👍

Mike is a great guy and the interviewer is an awesome dude as well.

and then they try to pretend this man is a animal, he was just manipulated he is a beautiful and that all that matters , you probably would also byte to sobrevive specially if your oponnent was full of roids..... this guy is a good soul i dont care about your hate.

i dare anybody to steal one of his birds now and slapping him with it after killing it. on a serious note though...i really like this side of him. makes him very relatable since im a zookeeper and birds are a huge interest of mine.

Mike is just amazing. He's such a caring individual and he was manipulated so much by King is his younger years and he had a lot of trauma as a youth. I see it like him nurturing those pigeons growing up in Brooklyn and then all through his life as a way to provide that care that he lacked.

Graham Bensinger,you're indeed a qualified journalist bro. Keep it up man!!! So so so sensible and cool are your interviews!!! You need an Oscar award!!!

Now this is how you talk to Mike Tyson. Respect to the interviewer

so is that 1 bird that he's attached to the 1 portrayed on mike tysons mysteries?

Mike gets cooler every video I watch, I could kick it with him easy! His passion for animals, birds in particular is beautiful

thats the true personality of mike tyson..caring loving guy. a good guy. at the same time a fighter. you sir are my most favorite boxer of all time. not just becoz you are good at boxing but u are a good human being.

As someone who's been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder it's wild to look back on the famous people we know that most likely had it but were able to push through and not let their issues get in the way

He knows what greatness is 😍

The best boxer in history, fists of steel and a heart of gold

To see Mike smiling like that you know it's coming from pure joy.

Mike is way more intelligent than most think.

Graham Bensinger is truly the best. I love his interviews!!!

This side of Mike is amazing lol really wasn't expecting to hear how much he loves pigeons. Top interview

So much love & respect for Mike's humility. Today he is a complete person.

Great video Mike thx for sharing.

Its 2019 and we still love you champ.

This interviewer is besttt .. He feels Iron 🙏🏻 Thanks Graham

And that my friends is how John Wick was born.

I actually love his passion for pigeons! I don’t think it’s weird I think it’s really cool and sweet. And I hate to hear people make fun of him for it! 😡 atleast he’s not out there abusing animals!! Or fighting dogs for money! And I hate to hear people make fun of him and his pigeons. If people would just take a little time to learn about them and why he loves them and has so many and just listen to him explain his passion maybe people wouldn’t be so quick to make fun of him. His love and passion for them and the connection he has with them says so much about the kinda person he is in his core. He has a good kind soul! And I think he’s just so misunderstood

My first time around birds I was 3 years old and love them ever since.

Super cool interviewer 👍

Mike is so special and loved❤

I'm watching this from South Africa in KwaZulu-Natal

Hehehe I love the picture of him holding the little pigeon Also side note I know ppl keep complimenting him but the interviewer is so nice. It’s like he’s actually trying to get to know Mike and truly show a side we havnt seen. He listens so intently and looks excited for every question

I like seeing this side of him. It's not even an expensive or exotic animal that he likes. Just humble, simple pigeons.

I surprisingly relate to him alot

people only want to see the animal side of Mike, but his pigeons and love of animals shows his true compassionate side

This is how you interview someone. Mike tyson wants to talk because he isn't being ignorant towards him.

Love to see his wholesome side

I have learned so much about Mike Tyson, today.

getting to know the real Mike Tyson through these interviews is crazy he really seems to be an open book and a nice grown man sometimes change comes with age

Mike a one of the humblest warrior ever

This interview is beautiful I can watch this interviewer all day very relaxing

love you Mike reminds me of my pops. Rip Dad

Man Tyson is amazing! I love Pegions and birds and I can totally relate.

His love for animals says a lot about his personality!!!! He’s a kind and amazing man!!!! I’d love to ride horses with Mike someday!!!!!!!???? What do ya think Mike?????

I can relate with Mike Tyson. I rescued a fledgling pigeon just before the boom cyclone hit NYC on dec23, 2022. That day weather dropped from 50 degrees to 6 degrees in a couple of hours with 30 mph winds. Fledgling would of froze to death. But I learned how to feed it via KZfaq.. having this pigeon and taking care of it .. I realized they are highly intelligent. I can’t release him back in streets because he doesn’t have the survival skills or how to forage for food. I’m hoping to give him to a friend who has a pigeon coop ..where my pigeon can acclimate and be with its own kind and fly free as it was meant to.

Thank you so much for this Interview ♡ awesome job ♡

If he never became a boxer he would be pigeon man from het Arnold

Jesus the polarity between the pidgeons and the boxing world is fucking poetic. MAKE A GODDAMN MOVIE ABOUT MIKE TYSONNNNNNNN

Mike Tyson is a genuine MAN !

We love you Mike Tyson thanks for persevering you give me hope man.

I feel like mike tyson should've played the pigeon king in john wick 2. Would've been dope.

FINALLY! Someone who doesn't call animals 'it'

I think it would be cool to have a pigeon from Mike... I don't know how to take care of them but I would damn sure learn, lol. I have been huge fan since I was like 3.. I remember being so excited about him fighting on pay per view (my parents and friends had a big party, like every 6 months it seemed) then idk wtf happened, but I have been pulling for him all along.. I'm happy to see he settled down and got everything together. :)

Amazing interview.. love the energy and chemistry between the two. Mike is a cool dude

This side of him is so wholesome🥺

Notice he feels his love for animals is weird or has to be explained. A real man has love for all creatures ❤

Thanks for the interview, I understand Mike love for pigeons.
