According to multiple sources, Mike Tyson owned three Bengal tigers named Kenya, Storm, and Boris. He obtained two of them during his time in prison on rape charges in 1992. Tyson paid $50,000 for each of his tigers. One of the tigers tried to eat a neighbors dog, which led to Tyson having to get rid of one of his tigers. Tysons former manager, Shelley Finkel, revealed that the incident occurred when Tyson was walking one of his tigers, and it saw the dog and scaled the wall to go and eat it. Tyson had to pay $250,000 in compensation to the neighbor whose dog was attacked. Tyson kept one of the tigers for 16 years until it got too old and had to be given up when its eyes and head got bad. Tyson revealed that the tiger ripped somebodys arm off, but he clarified that it did not attack a neighbor as was rumored. Tyson no longer owns any tigers and instead has a poodle named.
