LOCK UP YOUR pigeons, because Mike Tyson is visiting Ireland next March.
The boxer, actor and pigeon-fancier (this is an actual thing) will bring his one-man show, Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth to the Olympia Theatre in Dublin on 27 March.
It has already had a successful run on Broadway and a multi-city US tour, and is directed by the legendary Spike Lee.
If you shell out €156 plus booking fee, you can get a premium front row seat, plus bump fists with the man himself during a post-show meet and greet. You can even get your photograph taken with him.
Just make sure you watch this video and learn what could happen when you meet:

As the name suggests, Undisputed Truth “goes beyond the headlines, behind the scenes and between the lines to deliver a must-see theatrical knockout”, and tickets are on sale this Friday.
We’re taking it that you’ll find out more about the big-name boxing great (and sometime tabloid favourite, actor, and convicted rapist) and his battles beyond the ring.
He’ll probably wax lyrical about his pigeons too…

i might get front row tickets but meeting him?…. ill play it by ear.
Pay money to listen to a man who was convicted of rape and who abused his wife, talk about his life?
No Thanks!
How is this man allowed into the country…
That’s not for definite yet. This show has already had cancellations in Australia and New Zealand. I’m guessing poor sales or visa issues… Wouldn’t surprise me if it ended up being cancelled
I might be incorrect but I remember hearing he has been refused entry here before.
I googled but found nothing so must have been something else I had in mind..
Hes been here plenty. He held a dinner and speech thing. 500 quid a ticket if i remember right
Why not?
Are you for real, the government has left in criminal gangs from all around the world.
I saw his show in Melbourne and met him that night.. A lifelong dream realised and a memory that will stick with me for the rest of my life
€156 quid to meet dis animal !!!! No thanks ….
Nice touch Mike, I can’t wait and don’t mind the protests, they’re only mad at the bankers for raping their money, not you.
Rapists blows all his money and.wants to make a few bob. Boo hoo.
“The boxer, actor and pigeon-fancier” wife beater and convicted rapist
I hope he doesn’t punch the audiences heads off!
YEAH!! I hope he doesnt bite anyones ears off either!!! LOL HAHA
HAHA LOL YOLO 2K13
I can’t wait, the greatest ear biting heavyweight of all time.
like him or loath him he has still lived an extraordinary life!i doe one would love to hear his story!
I’d pay €156 to meet a great sportsman, not a thug like that.
Interesting word choice
The show must go on.
I’m so going.
Was doing a show in Belfast with barry Mc guigan a few years back canceled due to poor sales
have your say
