“I said: Can you get me some tigers?’
“The guy said, ‘Imagine how cool that would be?’
“‘You’d have a tiger right next to you, man. That’s be so awesome.’ And I’m a young guy. I’m saying to myself, ‘Wow, that would be cool. Get me some cubs, man.’”
Tyson, 52, reportedly purchased each tiger for £48,000 and spent £3,000 a month feeding his pets.
Before Tyson gave up his Bengal tigers, he had a gold tooth knocked out after giving one of his pets a kiss.
