Impressive: The towering high ceiling in one of the mansion's seven-and-a-half bedrooms.



Mike Tyson's bedroom was once on the second floor of the Ohio home.

Now it will house offices for the pastor and staff.

The church will have many uses for the 25,000 square feet they now have.

Tyson bought the house for just $300K in 1989, sold it for $1.3 million in 1999, next owner went to prison.



Mike Tyson's luxury 25,000 square foot Ohio mansion is set to become a church.

Iron Mike bought the Southington Township mansion, which has an indoor pool and hot tub, in 1989 at a sheriff's sale for $300,000. He had gates erected bearing his named and kept four tigers in cages there.

Ten years later he told it for for $1.3million to Paul Monea, an infomercial entrepreneur best known for marketing Tae-Bo exercise videos.

Monea was sentenced to 13 years in federal prison in 2007 for money laundering and the mansion was bought at sheriff's sale again in 2010, this time for $600,000 it was then then donated to the church for a tax write-off.

The church's up-front investment was $50,000 to clear back taxes.


The gates of the house still bear his name, almost 20 years after he moved out.

The church does not plan on keeping them.



Stone coated.


The boxer lived in the property in the late 80s and early 90s until his dramatic fall from grace when he was jailed for rape

The property features five bedrooms, several living spaces, seven and a half bathrooms, a full kitchen, a mini-kitchen/washroom, two attached garages, one external garage, full size pool and Jacuzzi, tiger cages and a basketball court.
