Mike Tyson, Florida man. Boxing legend just dropped $13 million for a mansion: report
Leaving Las Vegas for good?
Boxing legend Mike Tyson just plunked down some major coin for a massive home in the Delray Beach area, the Palm Beach Post first reported.
The $13 million property is located on a 2.7 acre lot in the upscale Tierra del Rey Estates, according to a special warranty deed. The off market sale was finalized Jan. 8.
Joseph Jonathan Schneider, with Wimbledon Real Estate, represented the buyer.
The former heavyweight champ, 58, has been bunking in the Vegas suburb of Henderson, Nevada, for almost a decade. In 2015, he purchased a mansion there, a few years after appearing in “The Hangover,” which was set on the Strip.
So will Tyson be spending his golden years balling out in the Sunshine State? It’s sure looking like it. The Brooklyn native, who lost to whippersnapper Jake Paul back in November in a highly publicized Netflix bout, has his hands in a few other things now.
For one, there’s the father of seven’s highly successful TYSON 2.0 global cannabis company. Last month, the big guy stopped by the MUV medical marijuana dispensary in North Miami to launch a few products there. And his business partner, wrestling icon Ric Flair, is based in Tampa.
The big real estate move also looks as if it has to do with family. Tyson, who also owns a condo in Boca Raton, has 16-year-old daughter Milan Tyson who trains in South Florida with famed tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou.
Another project in the pipeline: Netflix is coming out with a docuseries on Tyson’s incredible life, in and out of the ring, Deadline reports.
The as yet to be titled three-parter will explore his “meteoric rise as the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ to his personal struggles – including a period of incarceration and widely publicized struggles (i.e. finances, substance abuse, in-ring controversies) – and eventual redemption.”
