Inside Mike Tyson’s Abandoned Mansion

Back in the 1990s, the legendary boxer lived in this house like a king … a zebra-print-carpet-loving, cash-hemorrhaging, mentally ill king.

By Ky Henderson

Hey, look— an unbelievably garish mansion formerly owned by Mike Tyson that now appears to be the homebase for armies of raging meth addicts. Good ol’ Las Vegas!


Actually, it’s not in Las Vegas. This monument to insanity and bad taste is located in Southington, Ohio. Tyson lived there for a period of time in the 1990s — further evidence of the depths of his madness.


Speaking of madness, check out this gold ceiling. “You know what I’d like? For my living room to make me feel as though I’m in a disco. In 1985. In Tel Aviv.”


Who knows what he kept in this rusty steel cage. His Bengal tigers? His pet pigeons? His sparring partners?

The road is so busy no place to park and the neighbor lives by the "country law shoot first ask last. Not to mention the sheriff only takes like 5minutes to get there and if u r on the left side of road u will be arrested, the sheriffs however r deffinately cute.

Linda Wolford (Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:00:45 +0000): l once watched a movie in that house...it was sooo beautiful..and it's a shame it looks like that today. The spiral staircasr went up to his private locked bedroom...and the cages were where he wanted to keep tigets..befors that was overturned. lt has a small security house in the front. l knew someone who worked for him at the time..that it was at it's best. lt's just so sad...that someone can't renovate that place.
