Recently news have been going around that Mike Tyson would officially enter the porn industry. While it's true that Mike was asked for this it's absolutely false and not true that he will star in a porn movie. He denied the rumour that he would do porn in in his latest interview at boxingtalk.

A snippet of the interview:

GL: "It seems a lot of peope picked up on our last interview, unfortunately all of the people who picked it up, Jay Leno, Jim Rome, the papers, the one thing they focused on was the stupid line about porn, which I kind of regret keeping in there".

Mike Tyson: "I thought that was pretty cool though. That's not something I'm really serious about doing, but it was funny how many people made something out of nothing."

As rumoured by local media and Japanese reports Mike Tyson attended the K-1 World Grand Prix in Honolulu July 29.

Mike Tyson (L) of the U.S. congratulates Musashi (R) of Japan after he defeated Rickard Nordstrand of Sweden at the K-1 World Grand Prix in Honolulu July 29, 2005. The event consists of martial arts matches with fighters from Brazil, Japan, Canada, Sweden and the U.S., including a battle between former Sumo Grand Champion Akebono and Choi Hong-man of South Korea.

After his performance Choi motioned to Mike Tyson, who was sitting ringside, and seemed to call out the former boxing heavyweight champion. Tyson has been rumored to be on the verge of signing a deal with K-1.

"The crowd was too loud, so I didn't hear what he said," Choi said after calling Tyson out in the ring. "Since he came all the way to Hawaii for K-1, I thought if I have a chance to fight him I'd be happy."

In the past Mike Tyson often signed contracts with K-1 to promote or commentate. His last display in the K-1 world was a similar act as he was challenged by Bob Sapp when Tyson came in to congratulate him.

PARADISE VALLEY - Boxer Mike Tyson's pet pigeons will have a home to roost in in Paradise Valley after all.

Officials have approved plans for a coop to house his birds at his new residence on Mummy Mountain.

"Everything seems to be OK. The town is going to issue a building permit to finish the project," said Hamid Arshadi, Paradise Valley's building and zoning director.

The permit most likely will be issued Monday, Arshadi said Friday.

In late June, town inspectors halted construction of the backyard coop after learning that it was being built without the town-required permit.

Representatives for Tyson then filed an application to obtain a building permit. The detached coop will be about 100 square feet with the improvements, including air-conditioning, having an estimated value of $12,000, according to the application.

The town had some technical questions about the coop's structure and revised plans were dropped off late this week, Arshadi said.

Tyson plans to house 85 to 100 birds in it.

While the town does not regulate the number of birds a resident can keep, they must be kept on the property and not pose a public nuisance.

"As long as the birds are maintained in compliance with the animal control section of the (town) code, then they shouldn't be any problem," Arshadi said.
