Among the many celebrities who are prominently tattooed, Mike Tyson’s tattoos are particularly interesting. He has been very articulate about the symbolism and what he proclaims are the profoundly personal nature of his tattoos, featuring among others Arthur Ashe, Che Guevera and Mao Zedong. Tyson has stated that his tattoos are powerful personal totems. Tyson’s most recent facial tattoo may be an extraordinary attempt to perform a very public ritual act. Almost all tattoos in traditional tribal cultures are performed as part of a larger elaborate rite of passage between adolescence and adulthood. Tyson may be trying to pull on his “warrior’s” face by getting tattooed in such a visible way.

“Let me start off by saying, you know when it is a good fight when you go back and forth with your pick. My first pick was Wilder because of his power and how he did well with Ortiz who is a southpaw, but then I go back to Zhang who has been in with punchers and did well (i.e. Hrgovic and Joyce). They both fought the same guy in Parker, and both didn’t look great, but I am going to go with Zhang simple because he had Parker down twice in the fight with him. This is why you have to love heavyweight fighting because one punch can change it all. They both have power so I think someone will go down.”

George liked China, so much so that when Zhang turned pro and moved to New Jersey, George stayed behind. Three years later, in 2017, Zhang, his career floundering, asked him to become his head trainer and George agreed.

La notizia dello scherzo di Mike Tyson riguardo alla rimozione del suo tatuaggio facciale ha attirato l’attenzione dei media e dei suoi fan. Nonostante ciò, site here Tyson sembra non avere intenzione di separarsi da quel simbolo iconico che lo rende immediatamente riconoscibile.

Shortly after the Olympics, Dino Duva was invited to Beijing to consult for the Chinese Boxing Federation. In Zhang, he saw not just talent but unprecedented ambition. At the time, Chinese boxers didn’t turn pro. Few of the country’s athletes did. “When you’re a national athlete in China, you get treated very well,” says Duva. “You’re supported by the government. They support your family. They give you bonuses and pay you well. But if you decide to make the move to become professional, they cut you off.” Zhang, Duva says, wanted more.

Parker content with trading but being down with the knockdowns not helping his cause. Zhang can pay conservative and win off of the strength of the knockdowns. That seems to be his strategy. Parker trying but his combos not hurting Zhang. More busy fighter earns the nod, but Zhang’s one punch ability carrying the fight.

Round 2: Bivol getting active with the lead hand, jabbing and feeding hooks around the guard. Testing the defenses. Zinad snapping the jab but he’s being a little more cautious after that knockdown. And Bivol lands a counter left hook when he drew out the jab. Bivol seems to have the distance down well now and Zinad is being very sparing with his offense.

Even though I’d covered most of his significant bouts at that point, it’s still not every day that Mike Tyson calls you at home so I was suspicious. Tyson’s voice was frequently imitated, and comedians used to make fun of his lisp and the higher pitch to his voice than his size suggested.

“Craig Richards is one helluva fighter,” said Hutchinson during his post-fight interview with DAZN. “I’m young, I’m hungry, I’m sexy, and I’m ready to take over the world. I want to become the WBC champion of the world.

The 27-year-old Paul, meanwhile, has transitioned from YouTube to professional boxing and has won nine of his 10 fights. His only defeat came against Tommy Fury, the younger half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, in February 2023.

Pero el de su exposa no es la única cara que tiene dibujada en su cuerpo el laureado boxeador. En su brazo derecho figura el presidente Mao Zedong, con el que se sintió identificado durante su paso por la cárcel en los años 90 tras ser declarado culpable de abuso sexual a una joven de 18 años. El púgil comenzó a leer con voracidad y uno de los libros que más le marcaron fue el del dirigente chino, por lo que decidió tatuárselo en su bíceps para que le acompañara para siempre justo encima de un gran dragón que en la misma cultura china tiene grandes significados relacionados con la fuerza, con la buena suerte y con la protección.
