Does Tyson live in Scottsdale, AZ ?

Or did I dream that ?

I am sure I read it somewhere. I am expecting to see him in Green, if its true. We'll see if he really is vegan then.
I eat to nourish my compassion, not my greed

I'm the man they couldn't kill ! I cannot be destroyed with conventional weapons !

And probably the former fastest British Vegan 10, 25 and 50 mile TT rider. Probably.

Mike's going to be making an appearance at the London Film and Comic Con 2010 next month. Fiver to get in. I might head along and offer some vegan support (ie shout stuff from behind the massed ranks of geeks and autograph hunters).

Tyson, who became a vegan this year, had all his dishes cooked especially to meet his dietary requirements.
Among those dishes were Bombay Aloo, Aubergine Curry, Mushroom Chilli and Chana Masala.

It does go on to say that he had his tea with honey, but maybe we can put that down to daily mail reporting standards :)

Bombay Brasserie owner Rony Choudhury said: “He ordered exactly the same meal - a vegan curry with plain rice and a salad."

He's looking in better shape these days. All the stories I've read recently have been very positive too. Glad to see him sorting his life out, especially after the death of his young daughter last year.

Here's a slightly bizarre video backing up the daily mail's claims.

I originally went vegan for health reasons . I STAY vegan for the animals !
I was on my own journey of truth.
I think it only took one video :)

Amazing times we live in. Thanks for posting.

I hope one opens near me. It would be a great novelty to eat at a Mike Tyson's vegan restaurant.

Now this is good promotion for veganism! No matter what he has done during his life this restaurant gives a lot positive attention on vegan food and veganism generally.

Mike Tyson is one of my idols and to see him go vegan only further establishes that.

Here's footage of Mike on the Ellen show.
