Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has made his home in the wealthy bedroom community of Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada, since 2008.
Retired from boxing in 2006, Mike holds a career record of 50 wins, including 44 knockouts, in 58 career bouts. Tyson travelled a long rough road from troubled Brooklyn street kid orphaned at age 16, to a brilliant boxing career and later controversy about his outrageous conduct in his personal life and in the ring.
Loved by the media and millions of fans, Tyson has performed as an actor in the cast of The Hangover, a comedian and singer on late night television, best-selling author, a one-man Broadway show, and a video game character.
