In the late 1980s and early 90s Mike Tyson was the 'baddest man on the planet' and he ruled the boxing world becoming undisputed World Heavyweight Champion. During that time Tyson was worth big money and all of his fights were box-office so it's no wonder he had a house that mirrored his status as one of the most feared sportsman of his generation. His former mansion though has been abandoned for some time and has become derelict as new footage shows.
The amazing house, which Tyson lived in before financial issues hit him after his rape conviction, is in Southington, Ohio, not far from where he used to train for his fights at the time.

Inside there are five bedrooms, lavishly decorated, a jacuzzi room, an indoor pool, several living rooms, seven and a half bathrooms, a full kitchen, a mini-kitchen/washroom, two attached garages, one external garage, a basketball court and the one thing that no house could do without tiger cages!
The jacuzzi room is decked out with mirrored ceiling, black marble flooring and gold plated taps- necessities of course. Whilst the full sized pool is housed in a room bigger than most people's entire house.
Photographer Jonny Joo who snapped the amazing pictures of the property was suitably impressed with what he saw saying; "I loved the bathroom simply because of the view and the mirrored ceiling above the Jacuzzi tub. But the pool was probably my favourite just because of how incredibly large it was and thinking how vibrant it was at one point in time...It was pretty incredible to look at while standing at one end. Everything was so full of life and now simply collects dust."
