Mike Tyson
From an early age Mike showed a passion for pigeons, so much so that he raised his own. The fact is well known among boxing enthusiasts, representing one of the identifying traits of the boxer outside the ring. It was precisely this interest that linked him -directly- with violence. In fact, when Tyson was 10 years old, a boy (Gary Flowers) tried to steal a pigeon from him and ended up killing it: Tyson, in response, attacked him by knocking him out punches. The episode was only the beginning of an adolescence characterized by violence, so much so that within a short time the boy often distinguished himself by street brawls and clandestine fights. In addition to his fights, he also gained a negative reputation due to thefths and robberies at the age of 13 he had already been sent to juvenile prison 39 times. However, his childhood was not free from crimes of which he became the victim, rather the perpetrator: in autumn 2014 he deleclared that he had been sexually molested by a stranger when he was 7 years old. Tyson spent three years in prison for rape. The former world heavyweight champion actually spent three years in prison starting in 1992. Tyson was accused of sexual assault by a girl he met at a baeuty pageant in Indianapolis, Desiree Washington.

This performace not only revived his career but also made himj one of the highest-paid actors in the world and a key figure in modern cinema.
