Mike Tyson‘s interview with the YES Network’s Center Stage airs tomorrow night.

Previous gossip has already revealed Tyson’s announcement that he’s vegan, and here’s a little more explanation from the interview preview.

“I’m a vegan. I don’t eat anything. I’m starving myself, but in order to live I have to die. I feel awesome, and it’s scary.”

Vegans might at first get upset that Tyson’s comment is saying a vegan diet means not eating anything that taste good or it means you’re hungry all the time, but it’s important to note Tyson says he does feel “awesome.”

Plus, he may be on a temporary very restrictive diet until he resolves some health issues, hence the “in order to live,” statement.

Although animal rights activists have criticized his Animal Planet show about pigeon racing, Take On Tyson, it was his love for his possessions that drew him to fighting to begin with.

“I come from this really macho area, so they take my money, take my pigeons, and one day a friend of mine said, “fight back.” And I fought. I had a high-pitched voice, I was really obesely overweight, and so I would never go to school. But, this guy: took one of my pigeons, and my friend said “fight him.” I fought him, and I don’t know, I guess I beat him up and stuff.”

Lesson learned: Don’t ever mess with man’s pigeons! That guy’s lucky he kept his ear.

Did Mike Tyson go vegan to get PETA off his back for racing pigeons in the new Animal Planet show, Take On Tyson?

A poll currently underway at the Huffington Post says “no,” with plenty of comments and opinions.

“The vagan [sic] crowd here on huffpost needs to go watch a few interviews with this man, and then come back and retake the poll. This guy doesn’t give a hoot about anybody but himself.”

“Go vegan, for any reason at all, and you will make the world a better place.”

“Damn let the man be a vegan.”

Mike Tyson‘s new Animal Planet show about pigeon racing is under fire from animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

According to the New York Post, a report by TMZ says the group says the show, Take on Tyson, violates New York gambling laws because it profits from animal racing.

The show is filmed in Brooklyn and the District Attorney in the city is investigating the claims.

Animal Planet is denying the claim and says there would be no gambling on the show.
