Mike Tyson swings open a small, wooden door, carefully prodding his feathered friends into a gentle spring breeze. Within minutes, hundreds of pigeons flutter skyward, circling in tightknit loops. The younger birds soar higher; the older ones, particularly those locked up too long, struggle to heights they once conquered.
"This is my next love, after my kids. They're very soothing," the former heavyweight champion says to an old acquaintance after a workout for his June 11 fight against Kevin McBride, a tiny step in what Tyson hopes is a title march.
Almost 39, he is anything but at peace. Confused and humiliated after a decadent lifestyle left him with broken relationships, shattered finances and a reputation in ruin, the fighter cannot hide his insecurities, stacked as high as his legendary knockouts. He frets about his place in the world - where he comes from, where he's headed and how the life and turbulent times of Michael Gerard Tyson will play out.
"I'll never be happy," he says. "I believe I'll die alone. I would want it that way. I've been a loner all my life with my secrets and my pain. I'm really lost, but I'm trying to find myself.

These days, Mike Tyson says his explosive temper surfaces only in time of need, such as a couple of weeks ago, when he spotted a shady-looking character lurking around the suburban Phoenix neighborhood where he has been living while training for his June 11 fight against Kevin McBride.

Mike Tyson's favorite hobby is for the birds.
The former heavyweight champ, who has a fight coming up shortly, is turning again to his beloved flock of pigeons for focus and friendship.
Steve Lott, a former assistant manager of Tyson's, said the heavyweight "has a love, a sensational love, for the great legendary fighters," Lott said. "At the turn of the century, a lot of the fighters had birds as a hobby. What they did back then, he does to some extent now."
Tyson's prized pigeons are tumblers - birds that suffer seizures while flying so it appears they're doing somersaults in the air.
Back when Lott worked with Tyson in the 1980s, "it probably relaxed him a great deal," he said of the fighter's feathered friends. "Coming up, there was tremendous pressure on him. The birds gave him relaxation."
Brooklyn-born Tyson, 38, will face Kevin (The Clones Colossus) McBride in Washington, D.C., June 11. Tyson is hoping for a better outcome than his last bout, when British heavyweight Danny Williams knocked Iron Mike to the canvas in a four-round victory last July.
