Iron Mike is dead. After talking about how the death of his four year-old daughter changed him on the Ellen DeGeneres show, and kissing a pigeon on a giant Hollywood billboard while promoting a vegan lifestyle, 'Iron' Mike Tyson holds forth on why that sobriquet isn't the best way to describe him anymore

Iron Mike and pigeons?
Iron Mike is dead. I am a different person today. I have loved pigeons since I was nine years old. They were my escape. I was fat and ugly. Kids teased me all the time. The only joy I had was pigeons.

How have you turned your life around?
After my daughter died, I had two choices. One was to go out and kill some people, and the other was to start a new life. My daughter today continues to live through me.
