Mike Tysons Abandoned Mansion as Photographed by Danny Wills

First, you know who Mike Tyson is. He’s the boxer. He’s smashed a few faces in his day, and one day he even smashed a whole mansion and just left it there because he was totally just jamming with ferocity. It still stands there as he left it, in homage to his superior anger, and it’s been photographed by a real pro, Danny Wills, in two sets.

The two sets are as follows: Set I is called “Mike Tyson and his abandoned mansion.” and Set II, being all greenery photos, is called “Mike Tyson and his choice of decor.”

3737 State Route 534, Southington, Ohio — Don’t Get Caught!

UNIMPORTANT FACT! This mansion was owned by the champ from 1989 until who knows when, at which point Paul Monea (think Tae-Bo) purchased it. He was found guilty of money laundering basically instantly after he bought the house though, so it’s still got that “Mike the Uncheckable Television Smasher” look to it.

+++ this place was documentation-style photographed several years ago by a Russian rag magazine and were thustly distributed amongst the internets. These photos aren’t them. What you’re seeing below are new photos shot within the past year of this post being made. Done by a dude with a real good eye, one of a real photographer, if you will.

This post is straight out of the World Famous Design Junkies bad taste files. But, as I read somewhere else amongst the massive amount of Mike Tyson research done for this post: this place would look amazing with a TRON makeover.
