The timing and choice of the tattoo sparked widespread speculation. His coach, Jeff Fenech, suggested to Fox Sports, the tattoo was more than aesthetics, hinting at Tyson’s reluctance to fight: “I thought we are fighting in a week, and when you get a tattoo, you can’t fight because they snap up and it wouldn’t be healthy to do that. We sat down and spoke, and he didn’t really want to fight and he wasn’t prepared to, and that was one of the reasons he got the tattoo.” The fight was even cancelled once, as his coaching team thought that his lack of conditioning could lead to him losing the fight. Yet, Tyson defied doubts, ended up fighting Clifford, decisively ending the bout with Etienne in a mere 49 seconds, showcasing his undiminished prowess.
Whoever wins will be in-line to either challenge the winner of Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk or claim the belt outright should the undisputed champ vacate. Let’s see who can rise to the occasion in just a few short hours …
Tyson, der vor dem Kampf getönt hatte, er werde Lewis das Herz herausreißen und dessen Kinder fressen, gab sich nach dem Kampf wieder maßvoller. „Ich gratuliere Lennox, er hat tapfer gekämpft, ich ziehe meinen Hut. Alles andere, was ich davor gesagt und getan habe, habe ich gemacht, um den Kampf zu promoten”.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer has a big fight lined up for July 20, where he will face the youngest heavyweight champion in history, now long-retired 57-year-old Mike Tyson, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Ever since its announcement, the fight has been attracting considerable attention. Not a day passes by without the teams releasing training clips, snapshots, and footage from varied talk shows and podcasts to keep the followers engaged. In one such podcast, Paul was seen talking about why he was considering getting a face tattoo.
“I’m happy,” said Zhang in English, who now lives and trains in New Jersey, then switching to Mandarin. “I feel very happy. Like I said before the fight, it’s gonna end sooner than the first fight. I did it.
As well as that Victor Whitmill tribal tattoo on his face and the visage of his ex-wife, Monica Turner – whom he divorced after she admitted cheating on him – Tyson also has a portrait of Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara, whom he described during an interview as an “incredible” person who “had a lot” but who “sacrificed everything for the benefit of other people,” on his abdomen.

It’s been nearly eight months since Zhilei faced his first professional loss against Hrgović. That being said, the seasoned boxer remains diligent in his training as he prepares to mount a comeback while still keeping his fans in suspense about how he would perform fighting Joyce.
Proving his TKO victory in April wasn’t a one-time performance, Zhang of China (26-1-1, 21 KOs) stopped Joe “Juggernaut” Joyce in half the time it took him in their first fight, scoring a third-round TKO win. Zhang retains the WBO interim heavyweight belt and remains the mandatory challenger for unified champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Plus tard, il a raconté un incident de son séjour à Cuba. Tyson a dit: « Écoutez bien cette merde. Je suis en Jamaïque pour un moment avec des amis. Ensuite, je quitte la Jamaïque et je vais à Cuba. Je suis à Cuba. C’est fou, je me défonce, je me bats dans le couloir.

Another prison tattoo Tyson got while behind bars was that of tennis player Arthur Asher. The tattoo is a portrait of Asher with the words “Days of Grace” written above the image. He decided to get the ink after reading Asher’s biography, Days of Grace, which Spike Lee sent him.
The 1.98-metres tall Zhang – a super heavyweight silver medallist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics – started slowly but knocked 37-year-old Lewis down twice in the second round with two straight left hands.
Tyson’s respect for Zedong came while in prison where he read several books about the leader. It was while inside that Tyson decided to get a portrait tattoo of Zedong, with his name “Mao” tattooed underneath. In 2006 Tyson visited the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, with the Chicago Tribune reporting Tyson said, “Standing in front of Chairman Mao’s remains, I felt really insignificant. To have the chance to visit the memorial hall is a great honor for me.”
