He has yet another portrait of Che Guevara on his left abdomen. It is a copy of the famous Guerrillero Heroico photograph. Tyson got it in prison as well, as he was deeply mistrusting of his state and current government back then. Additionally, Kid Dynamite has a portrait of Monica Turner on the left forearm and a Dragon tattoo on his right forearm.
That’s certainly a lot of sit-ups per-day (exactly how many was Roach expecting him to do to get into shape?). Years later Tyson laughed about the interview and explained he actually had a long-standing back injury after years of training.
After retiring from boxing, Tyson has remained in the public eye through various media appearances, including a one-man Broadway show, movie roles, and a popular podcast. His life and career have been marked by both his achievements in the ring and his controversies outside of it.
There was a doctored image recently that went viral showing Paul with a tattoo above his right ear that was similar to Tyson’s famous tattoo on the left side of his face. The photo was fake and made to help promote the fight, but Paul may want a real one now.
It was in the lead-up to the bout that ‘Iron’ Mike decided to get his now signature Māori warrior tattoo. Reportedly done by celebrated tattoo artist S. Victor Whitmill from Las Vegas, box the story goes that Tyson originally wanted hearts on his face. However, Whitmill refused to go with the concept. Given that he has himself led the life of a warrior, the former heavyweight champion liked it when Whitmill introduced the Māori ‘tā moko’, a permanent ink decking the faces of Māori tribesmen from New Zealand.
Many have wondered about the meaning behind Tyson’s face tattoo, and while there have been various interpretations over the years, the true significance lies in the deeply personal story it represents. Every stroke of ink on his face tells a tale of triumph, struggle, and ultimately, reinvention.
History is repeating itself. Once again Joseph Parker looks to have quickly recovered from being dispatched to the canvas. And once again Zhilei Zhang seems relatively content to take a round off after recording a 10-8.
It looked like just another highlight reel Tyson KO except for one detail quickly spotted by viewers: Etienne, lying flat on his back on the canvas with his eyes closed, reached into his mouth to remove his gum shield mid-count.
“I’m very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas,” Tyson said in a statement. “He’s grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT. It’s a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him off on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him.”
Zhang was housemates with middleweight Meng Fanlong and lightweight Wang Zhimin in New Jersey when he first came to the US. Along with Zou Shiming, these four were the first wave of boxers ever released by the Chinese authorities to turn professional.
The victory made it a clean sweep for Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, which was squaring off with rival U.K. promoter Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing in a unique 5 vs. 5 team concept created by Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority.
Zhilei Zhang and Joseph Parker will do battle for the interim WBO heavyweight title at Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena on Friday, March 8; Zhang claimed and retained the interim crown in wins over Joe Joyce, while Parker vaulted himself back into contention by beating Deontay Wilder last month
Zinad firing the jab repeatedly but without force. Bivol somewhere between patient and passive. Bivol lands a couple of body blows and Zinad’s bleeding from the nose again. But Zinad throwing more punches and then baits Bivol into a mini-headbutt as the round ends. Bivol 39, Zinad 36.
In 2008, Zhang won a silver medal in the super heavyweight division at the Olympics. Four years later, in London, he faced Joshua in the quarter-finals and lost to the man who would become the champion. Joshua won that bout with a score of 15-11. Will there be a rematch more than eleven years later?
