In a surprising turn of events, Jake Paul has decided to keep the pigeon he initially purchased as a gift for Mike Tyson. Demonstrating his affection for the bird, Paul even bought it a miniature skateboard, showcasing his playful side.
This gesture is particularly noteworthy given Tyson’s well-documented passion for pigeons. From a young age, Tyson has been an avid pigeon enthusiast, often sharing stories about his deep connection with the birds. In one instance, he recounted knocking out a garbage man who disposed of one of his deceased pigeons, highlighting the depth of his attachment.
Paul’s decision to retain the pigeon and provide it with a skateboard adds a lighthearted element to the narrative, especially as he prepares for his upcoming fight against Tyson on November 15, 2024. The bout, set to take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will be streamed live on Netflix.
This unexpected move by Paul not only underscores his unique approach to the pre-fight buildup but also pays homage to Tyson’s longstanding love for pigeons, adding an intriguing layer to their forthcoming encounter.
