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, 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.

Xochitl and Tyson dated each other in 2005 and reportedly had a daughter- Exodus Tyson. Unfortunately, their daughter died in a traffic accident and Tyson’s life changed afterward. Although he didn’t continue his relationship with Xochitl, it remains a special phase in Tyson’s life.
Not only is boxing one of the world’s oldest sports, it is also one of the most watched sports around the world. Although boxing has been a part of human history for millennia, professional boxing or prizefighting only arose in the 19th century.
U.K. boxer Ricky Hatton, was amongst Tsyzu’s many fans. “Kostya Tszyu was someone that I looked up to because he was a class act from start to finish The guy was just a complete punching machine,” he told The Ring. “He had flattened top opponents like Zab Judah and Sharmba Mitchell with ease, so he was the man to beat.”
Apart from the one on his face, the most famous Heavyweight boxer of our time sports quite a few well-recognizable tattoos, like the face of Chairman Mao Zedong on the right arm. Then there’s a ‘Che’ Guevara done on the left side of his stomach-rib cage. Next, his left arm has the tattoo of legendary tennis player Arthur Ashe with the ‘Days of Grace’ written above it. Finally, his former wife, Monica Turner’s face covers the left forearm.
Johnson later remarked he knew the fight was over in the 4th round when he landed an uppercut and saw the look on Jeffries face, stating, “I knew what that look meant. The old ship was sinking”. Afterwards, Jeffries was humbled by the loss and what he had seen of Johnson in their match. “I could never have whipped Johnson at my best”, Jeffries said. “I couldn’t have hit him. No, I couldn’t have reached him in 1,000 years”.
During Mike Tyson and actress Robin Givens’ ill-fated marriage, their relationship became the source of tabloid fodder. With rumors of alleged abuse, Tyson later admitted in the book Fire and Fear: The Inside Story of Mike Tyson that Givens was the recipient of the “best punch” he’d ever thrown in his entire life (via the Los Angeles Times).
In a 2013 interview with the The Telegraph, Tyson additionally explained that he came up with a way to get around drug tests before fights. He used a fake penis that he called his “whizzer” to give clean urine samples.
This one appears to be a very intriguing match up between two flawed but big punchers, which figures to end in dramatic fashion. Wilder (43-3-1, 42 knockouts) has had to over-rely on that power to get him out of a few sticky situations during his career and struggled when he couldn’t pull the trigger against Parker last time out. The New Zealander gave Wilder some movement, which Zhang won’t, since he’ll be a much more stationary target. However, at this stage of his career the real question is whether he still has the desire he once had.
Commenting on Ali lighting the Olympic flame in 1996, Frazier stated that it would have been good if Ali had fallen into the cauldron after lighting the flame, and that he would have pushed Ali in himself if he had the chance to do so. In a press conference held on July 30, 1996, Frazier accused Ali of being a “draft dodger” and a racist, and claimed he would have been a better choice to light the Olympic flame. Also in 1996, Frazier claimed Ali was suffering from “Joe Frazier-itis” and “left-hook-itis.”
“I learned about life from my losses. I’ve learned that as I get older and I lose my friends, my children, my teeth, my hair—and eventually, I’m going to lose my life—life is all about loss,” he says. “We’re going to be old one day. We’re going to lose our teeth, lose our eyesight, lose our hair, lose our dick, lose everything we thought made us who we were. We’re going to lose our identity. In the end, we’ll be grateful if someone has a picture of us on the family wall, if they even put up a picture of us.”
