Mike Tyson’s Abandoned Mansion

Everyone knows Mike Tyson has an explosive personality. Not only has he been known to give his opponents a pummeling they’ll never forget, he also went a few rounds with his old house in Ohio. He ended up moving to Vegas and sold the house to business man/entrepeneur, Paul Monea who purchased it as an investment. He was unable to sell the house, and in the meantime got some jail time when the Feds posed as potential buyers for the house who openly stated they’d be paying with “drug money”. Paul’s selective hearing chose to disregard that bit of information, and it ended up getting himself tossed in the slammer for this faux pas. Throughout all this drama, the house is still the way Tyson left it in the late ’90s. Photographer, Danny Wills recently visited the house, and took some great pictures.
