Names & Faces: Mike Tyson, Kisenosato
Tyson traveled to Suriname in South America as part of the new Fusion TV documentary series Outpost and was soundly beaten when he entered a bird in a songbird contest, a cherished local tradition.
In the episode, Tyson handpicks his bird — he dubbed the tiny guy “Little Mike” — but then absorbed a TKO when a competing champion cheeped and peeped more than his bird did in the same 15-minute period.
Making his debut at sumo’s highest rank of grand champion, the Japanese wrestler won the Spring Grand Sumo tournament in dramatic fashion Sunday.
Kisenosato then threw down Terunofuji, who holds the sport’s second-highest rank of ozeki, in a playoff to wrap up the Emperor’s Cup and his second straight title.
