The Mike Tyson tattoo face is a complex pattern that covers part of his face. This unique design incorporates flowing lines and curls that provide an asymmetrical and dynamic pattern that gives Tyson an even more menacing and mysterious look. Inspired by supporting Maori and Samoan motifs, the pattern symbolizes strength, spirituality and individuality. The black lines, clearly contrasting with his skin color, make the tattoo striking and noticeable, drawing attention to Tyson both in and out of the ring for his features. This bold design has become part of his personality, emphasizing his unique style and deep inner changes.

Encouraged by his success, Ball forced a knockdown in the final seconds of Round 8. The Englishman spun Vargas around out of a clinch and caught the champion with a glancing left hook to send him to the canvas. To Vargas’ dismay he was given a count, and he flicked his mouth guard into the ringside seats in frustration.

Tucked into an abandoned factory building in Paterson, New Jersey, Chinese heavyweight boxer Zhang Zhilei trained and prepared for his next bout, surrounded by decades-old posters and a washed-out red carpet.

After this win, Zhang is in line for a shot at one of Usyk’s three world title belts but will have to be patient. Joyce’s fellow Londoner Daniel Dubois — if he recovers from a serious knee injury — is first in line as the WBA mandatory challenger, and then there is Croatia’s IBF leading challenger Filip Hrgovic.

On March 7, 2024, it was announced that Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions had partnered to host an event headlined by Paul facing former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event will be streamed globally exclusively on Netflix.

Almost two decades on from when ‘Iron Mike’ last stepped into the ring in a professional bout, a defeat to Kevin McBride in 2005, the legendary heavyweight makes his return in an event that will draw attention from the world of sport and beyond.

Joyce was looking for the quickest route possible to a world title shot after turning professional late, following his silver-medal achievement at the 2016 Olympics. But a lack of head movement cost Joyce, and he has now slipped further along the queue for a title shot.

As if Zhilei Zhang wasn’t already intimidating—as if being 6′ 6″ with Thanos-like fists didn’t make your knees rattle, as if back-to-back knockout wins last year over granite-chinned Brit Joe Joyce weren’t enough—on this particular mid-November afternoon, inside a nondescript gun range in northern New Jersey, Zhang has his fingers wrapped around a Sig Sauer P365 XL. Guns, Zhang insists, were never his thing. His trainer, Shaun George, introduced him to recreational shooting a few years ago; Kurt Li, his co-manager, translator and, it turned out, part-time range safety officer, showed him the ropes. The first time he pulled a trigger, his hands trembled.

Mike Tyson, one of the most famous and controversial boxers of all time, has left an indelible mark on the history of the sport. He began his career in 1985 and soon became the youngest ever world heavyweight champion, defeating Trevor Berbick in 1986 at the age of 20. Tyson was known for his powerful punching, aggressive style and swift knockouts that made him a crowd favorite.

Suddenly the sideshow was a star. Only in Zhang’s camp, it wasn’t sudden. “Nobody wanted to trust the process,” says George. “Everybody thinks he just figured out how to fight. That’s not the case. Zhilei knew how to fight a long time ago. He’s like a giant that just needed to be provoked.”

Frank Warren (born 28 February 1952) is an English boxing manager and promoter. Warren and his son George own and run Queensberry Promotions. Warren was also a founder of the British boxing division less than middleweight television channel BoxNation which ran for over 11 years from 2012.

Only a couple weeks after Oleksandr Usyk became the undisputed heavyweight champion by beating Tyson Fury, boxing fans get another heavyweight matchup that could have a significant bearing on what happens in the division in 2025. Best of all, the chances for a knockout hover somewhere close to 100%. Here’s everything you need to know about Deontay Wilder vs. Zhilei Zhang, including the odds, their records and a prediction on who will win.

Jermell Charlo was the undisputed champion but has been stripped of all four of his titles as he hasn’t competed at 154 pounds since May 2022. That opened the door for Madrimov and Kurbanov to compete in their first title bout.

One thing Paul might be banking on is that Tyson hasn’t been in his prime for years, and he hasn’t boxed in a match since 2020. At the same time, so much of professional fighting comes down to training and skill, and while he may not be at the top of his game, the knowledge is all still there. It’s also worth noting that for a guy approaching sixty, he’s in pretty damn good shape.
