“I think Joshua is a big option for me considering Fury and Usyk have signed for a unification fight to happen next. I have history with Anthony Joshua (from the 2012 Olympics), and I used to be with Matchroom Boxing, but they never wanted to make the fight with me,” Zhang told Gambling.com.

In 2005, Rasheed Wallace and Nike were sued by a tattoo artist, Matthew Reed, over a commercial that outlined a tattoo as he discussed why he had it created; the case was settled. David Beckham and his favorite tattooist, Louis Molloy, had a public dispute that year over his plan to highlight them all boxers in undisputed boxing game an advertisement. The feud culminated in an interview with Mr. Molloy in The Daily Mirror that ran under the headline “I Own Beck’s Tattoo .. and I’ll Sue.”

“I blocked a few punches, but hell yeah, he punches hard,” Zhang, speaking through an interpreter, said of Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KOs), who is regarded as one of the most powerful punchers in heavyweight history.

On August 25, 2022, Hulu released a biographical drama limited series about Tyson, entitled Mike, depicting his life and career. On August 6, 2022, Tyson spoke out about the series, saying, “Hulu stole my story” and telling the service that “I’m not a n****r you can sell on the auction block.”

In March 2011, Tyson appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to discuss his new Animal Planet reality series Taking On Tyson. In the interview with DeGeneres, Tyson discussed some of the ways he had improved his life in the past two years, including sober living and a vegan diet. However, in August 2013 he admitted publicly that he had lied about his sobriety and was on the verge of death from alcoholism.

During that interview with British broadcaster Sky Sports, Anthony Joshua was also pressed on his plans for the rest of 2024. But he refused to be drawn on who he wants to fight next, or if he will fight again if Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury fight twice, as planned.

Tyson wouldn’t be fighting Paul, he says, if there wasn’t a chance he could fail or be humiliated. As he talks, Tyson leans in and reflects on what he’s learned through failure. He speaks softly but never breaks eye contact.

One of the more widely-known Mike Tyson facts is that, flush with his boxing money in the 1990s, he famously bought several tigers. As he told The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the idea came to him while he was in prison for a rape conviction.

Weili tries to move but Lemos is using her legs well. Weili lands some elbows instead. Weili not giving an inch of space. Lemos bucks and rolls but Weili stays on top and then spings to the back! And she drags Lemos down into the full backpack! Great transitions!

Last month, pictures of Jake Paul with a face tattoo resembling the one Mike Tyson made headlines. Many fans and followers pointed out that it was a fake photo op to promote the upcoming fight. But for an altogether unconventional reason, ‘The Problem Child’, as it turns out, appears quite serious about getting one.

It must be said that the body of Mike Tyson has several tattoos. The earliest he began to make more in prison, where he spent a period of his life. The body of the former boxer can be taken apart portraits of Mao Zedong, Che Guevara and Arthur Nash (black players in tennis).

Of course, Paul brought up the “Gotcha Hat” tattoo. When his brother Logan fought Floyd Mayweather, Jake stole Mayweather’s hat, leading to a wild brawl. Paul infamously yelled, “gotcha hat” and immediately got a tattoo.

Tyson got his face tattoo from artist S. Victor Whitmill of Las Vegas, Nevada, shortly before Tyson’s 2003 fight with Clifford Etienne (which would be his 50th and last victory), having previously suggested that he would get a face tattoo if he won Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson. Tyson had originally wanted hearts (which he “just thought … were cool” ), but, according to Tyson, Whitmill refused and worked for a few days on a new design. Whitmill proposed a tribal design inspired by tā moko, a Māori tattoo style. The design is not based on any specific moko and was created directly on Tyson’s face. Tyson saw the tattoo as representing the Māori, whom he described as a “warrior tribe”, and approved of the design, which consists of monochrome spiral shapes above and below his left eye. According to Tyson, it was his idea to use two curved figures rather than one.

The episode was originally posted to YouTube between May 23rd and June 14th, 2017, but has since been deleted. It was archived on the Internet Archive. After the clip was posted by @6sznx it was reposted by numerous X users, including @DramaAlert, garnering over 13,000 likes in under a day.

Many Māori took issue with Whitmill suing for copyright infringement when the work was, in their view, appropriative of moko. Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, an expert on Māori tattoos, told The New Zealand Herald that ” t is astounding that a Pākehā tattooist who inscribes an African American’s flesh with what he considers to be a Māori design has the gall to claim … that design as his intellectual property” and accused Whitmill of having “never consulted with Māori” and having “stole the design”. Bloom suggests that Te Awekotuku’s argument could have formed the basis for a defense that the tattoo fell below the threshold of originality.
