Zhang’s slow rise to prominence was also contributed to the debacle that saw his first and second promotional companies go out of business in 2014 and 2020 respectively and the legal chaos that followed.
If he wins his rematch against Zhilei Zhang following his loss to the Chinese fighter in April, then he has been suggested as a potential rival for WBO belt holder Oleksandr Usyk, as Zhang is now the interim titlist.
Having begun the final round four shots off the lead, Zhang tore round Scottsdale’s Grayhawk Golf Club with a bogey-free, four-under 68 to equal the NCAA record of eight single season wins held by Renee Heiken and Lorena Ochoa.
Hopkins would later capture the vacant IBF middleweight title in 1995 and defended it a remarkable 19 times, unifying it with the other three major world titles to become the undisputed middleweight champion in the process, with wins over the likes of Felix Trinidad, William Joppy and Oscar De La Hoya.
For what it is worth, the design motif of Tuson’s tattoo design looks more Dayak (indigenous people of Borneo) than Maori. There’s a lot of Dayak designs out. There on people’s skin. Guess it looks “bad”. Looks silly, out of context to people who know anything about Dayak art.
Langford is widely considered the greatest boxer to never win a world title (though in 2020, the WBC recognized Langford as an honorary world champion) and in addition to defeating lightweight champion Joe Gans in a non-title affair, Langford also beat former middleweight champion Stanley Ketchel, former light heavyweight champion Jack O’Brien, and future middleweight champion Tiger Flowers.
Ahead of the exhibition match against Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium on July 20th, Jake Paul surprised the boxing world when he trained with boxers from Team USA at the Colorado Springs Olympic & Paralympic Training Center. The likes of Jennifer Lozano and Morelle McCane helped ‘The Problem Child’ at above 6000 feet. Undoubtedly, Paul proved that he was taking the Mike Tyson fight seriously. In the wake of this incident, footage of Mike Tyson’s training has now been leaked!
Despite its popularity, the Mike Tyson tattoo has also been the subject of legal disputes and controversies. One prominent example is the lawsuit filed by tattoo artist Victor Whitmill over the use of the design in the movie The Hangover Part II.
Know of which boxing division is the best’s consensus favorite heavyweight and youngest champ Mike Tyson? Sure you do. Do you know that he is facing a 9-1 (6KOs) YouTuber boxer next? You just might. Did you know he has 44 career knockouts till now? Or that he once bit a peer’s ear off during a bout? That is a famed affair. What about his iconic face tattoo? Of all the above, that stands out as his selling point.
First off, I invite you to add your own comments to this one, as I am sure there are aspects to this that I am missing, and I have as many questions as opinions here. So, woo-hoo!, Hangover 2 gets to open because a judge rules that even though Victor Witmill does own the copyright to the tattoo design he famously put on Mike Tyson that was then imitated in the film, the financial damage of keeping the film closed would effect too many people to be justified. I’d only followed this with amused interest until I heard an “On the Media” report about the possible ramifications of tattoo copyright — and now I have some questions. (On The Media: This Week “Can you Copyright the Human Body?)
“She has a stroke of genius, she has an X-factor that you can’t describe, you can’t teach. She just has the ability to dig deep to a place where she can do something special under immense amounts of pressure.
Op 20 augustus 2022 verloor Zhang van de Kroaat Filip Hrgović door een controversiële jurybeslissing, die gepromoveerd werd tot verplichte uitdager van de IBF-titel. Vervolgens vocht hij op 15 april 2023 tegen de eveneens ongeslagen Britse WBO-interim-titelhouder Joe Joyce. Zhang won het gevecht middels een technische knock-out, nadat de scheidsrechter het gevecht stopte vanwege een ernstige zwelling in het rechteroog van Joyce. Op 23 september 2023 won hij de rematch tegen Joyce door een KO in de derde ronde.
While some may view Tyson’s tattoo as controversial or even unprofessional, it’s important to remember that self-expression takes many forms. For some, getting a tattoo is a way to express their creativity and personality, and for others, it’s a way to commemorate a special event or person in their life.
Tyson once revealed that he spontaneously got the tattoo done and did it because it looked cool. Furthermore, Tyson revealed that he initially wanted to get hearts as a face tattoo but changed his mind at the last moment. As such, Tyson decided to instead get a tattoo that could represent his fierce spirit, and he chose this tattoo.
Paul’s taunting went well beyond imitation. In the same video, the freshly tattooed YouTuber can be seen repeating one of Tyson’s old speeches word-for-word, with mentions of making Tyson his “girlfriend” and promising to “eat his children.” In any case, it appears Paul’s face tattoo is not real, with the account who posted the clip writing that while it is “definitely fake,” it makes for “hell of a promo video.”
