Mike Tyson becomes a pigeon racer now on the Animal Planet

Mike Tyson, who started raising pigeons while he was still a teenager, will race his feathered friends for the very first time.

The former world heavyweight champion's attempt to make a name for himself in the competitive world of pigeon racing will be chronicled on the Animal Planet show Taking On Tyson.

"Pigeons are a part of my life. It's a constant with my sanity in a weird way, this is just what I do," said the 45-year-old Brooklyn native in a press statement.

Tyson who threw his first punch when a neighbourhood bully killed one of his beloved pigeons and his team enter their first race competing against two big names from the New York scene.

Tyson's aim is to prove himself as a pigeon man and gain the acceptance of the competitive and macho pigeon racing community.

The team also faces one of their biggest challenges, a 350 mile race with over 900 birds.

Supporting the novice racer are the members of Tyson's Corner, Mario Costa, his lifelong friend and promoter/manager; Vinnie Torre, his pigeon trainer; and the Roman Brothers, his pigeon caretakers.

Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake Crotch and Boob Grab on 2011 MTV Movie Awards

X Factor Spin: Cheryl Could be back on a 5-judge panel Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake – Crotch and Boob Grab on 2011 MTV Movie Awards by Rickey on S
"Saturday Night Live" hosting gig, Justin Timberlake is still bringing the funny. It fact, he brought it all the way to Los Angeles and the stage of the MTV Movie Awards when he and co-presenter Mila Kunis pulled off straight-faced gropes while presenting the Best Male Performance award -- Robert Pattinson won, though that's kind of beside the point.

While explaining that their relationship was purely platonic the two actors gingerly grabbed each other -- Timberlake grabbed Kunis's chest, saying "That's why I can do this." And, not to be outdone, Kunis reached back and grabbed Timberlake's crotch. And, thus occupied, the two presented the nominees.

This wasn't Timberlake's first brush with live TV and a breast. In 2004, Timberlake famously pulled off the fabric covering one of Janet Jackson's breasts during the Super Bowl halftime show, leading to a massive controversy and the coining of the phrase "wardrobe malfunction."
