But S. Victor Whitmill, a tattoo artist formerly of Las Vegas and currently from rural Missouri, doesn’t quite see in bing.com the humor. Mr. Whitmill designed the tattoo for Mr. Tyson, called it "tribal tattoo," and claims it as a copyrighted work.
"I want to be like Judy Garland and Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra and all those kinda people as far as entertainment is concerned," he said. "That’s where my ego takes me. At first I wanted to do this show just for me and my wife to make a little money, something very small. So we go into this venture and the next thing you know, it’s an international scene, and it makes me a little nervous, but deep down inside, my ego said ‘yeah, that’s what you really want.’"
Michael Gerard Tyson (born June 30, 1966) is an American professional boxer who competed from 1985 to 2005, and is scheduled to compete once again in 2024. Nicknamed "Iron Mike" and "Kid Dynamite" in his early career, and later known as "the Baddest Man on the Planet", Tyson is regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. He reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990. Tyson won his first 19 professional fights by knockout, 12 of them in the first round. Claiming his first belt at 20 years, 4 months, and 22 days old, Tyson holds the record as the youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight title. He was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, as well as the only heavyweight to unify them in succession. The following year, Tyson became the lineal champion when he knocked out Michael Spinks in 91 seconds of the first round. In 1990, Tyson was knocked out by underdog Buster Douglas in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.
O youtuber Jake Paul é conhecido por fazer imitações caricatas de seus adversários no boxe, mas desta vez ele talvez tenha ido muito longe. Após o anúncio oficial de sua luta contra Mike Tyson, marcada para o dia 20 de julho nos EUA, o ator e atleta publicou um vídeo em que aparece com uma tatuagem no rosto idêntica à que o adversário tem no lado esquerdo da face. Claro, isso suscitou muitas dúvidas se era uma tatuagem real ou falsa.
On the other hand, Zhilei Zhang hails from China, and goes by the nickname "Big Bang". Zhang, as opposed to his young opponent, Hrgovic, is 39 years old and will fight as a southpaw. So far, Zhang has had 25 pro fights and a total of 72 rounds to speak of. Zhilei Zhang’s professional record comprises 24 wins, 0 losses, and only 1 draw. In addition, 19, that is to say, 76% of his victories come by the way of a knockout. Zhang has a similar height of 6′ 6 and more or less possesses the same reach as Hrgovic. Zhang made his debut in 2015, and in April of this year, he had his last fight. In his last fight, Zhang’s opponent was Scott Alexander, and the former won by a knockout in the very first round of the fight.
Located on Tyson’s left bicep is a tribute to tennis great Arthur Ashe. The quote, "Days of Grace," which is also the title of Ashe’s autobiography, encapsulates a message of dignity and grace under pressure. This tattoo resonates deeply with those who appreciate sportsmanship and the strength it takes to remain graceful even in defeat.
After making it to the final in 2008, Zhang returned to the Olympics in London four years later. That’s where he met Joshua in the ring. Zhang was a more polished fighter than he was in Beijing, where he leapt in and out wildly, ignoring his reach advantage to make contact. George had trained Zhang for the previous two years, but when it was time to fly out to London, George was passed over in favor of Chinese coaches.
Tyson has another tattoo that perfectly matches the Maori martial ornament on his face - the image of an aggressive tiger preparing to jump. The drawing evokes Eastern traditions, reminiscent of the idea of the dragon, which signifies nobility, bravery, strength, and power.
But it wasn’t until years later that Tyson discussed the tattoo while chatting with sportscaster Jim Grey on his podcast that Tyson revealed his reasons behind getting the tattoo. When asked by Grey why he got the tribal tattoo Tyson replied, "I don’t know. I was supposed to do it earlier. Put this tattoo, I wanted a tattoo on my face. I was gonna put a bunch of hearts on my face, there’s a bunch of little hearts and my friends are like, no I am not gonna do anything whack like that."
Zhang (26-2-1, 21 KOs) is usually strong in the first half. We’ve seen him outboxed in the second half by Hrgovic and Parker in his two loses but he also has to be weary of Wilder’s nuclear power. He’s never been hit by anyone like the American. How will Wilder deal with the much bigger physique (Zhang figures to be around 75 pounds heavier) and southpaw stance of the Big Bang? Zhang will be there to be hit, but how will he hold up under a right hand from Wilder?
Filip Hrgovic comes from Croatia, and he goes by the alias of El Animal. Hrgovic is an orthodox fighter, and he stands 6′ 6″ tall. He made his pro debut in 2017 and had his last fight in December last year. So far, Hrgovic has fought a total of 49 rounds in pro boxing. Still unbeaten, Hrgovic, 30, has a pro record of 14 wins, 0 losses, and 0 draws. 12, that is to say, 85.71% of his wins arrive by the way of a knockout. Filip Hrgovic’s last fight was against with Emir Ahmatovic and ‘El Animal’ won by TKO in the 3rd round.
