SOUTHINGTON, Ohio -- An abandoned mansion stands in rural Trumbull County. It is a larger-than-life structure for a larger-than-life person. In the 1980s, it was home to professional boxer Mike Tyson.
Local photographer Johnny Joo says he recently had permission to take photographs inside of the abandoned estate. He also recorded an interview with the home's current owner, who plans to turn it into a church.
Tyson, now retired, chose the location in order to be closer to boxing promoter Don King's facility in Orwell.
In a post on his website, Johnny details the house's large pool, chandeliers and tiger print carpet.
Joo's images of the Tyson mansion have picked up national steam as one of the nation's top-trending items on Facebook. Numerous media outlets across the country, including TMZ and our news partners at USA Today, have posted stories with Joo's photos.
