It’s another tentative start to the round. Parker chances his arm with something of a leaping right hook, thrown while away on the move, but it doesn’t do much damage. There’s then a brief moment of excitement when Zhang comes close to pinning Parker on the ropes but the Kiwi is able to untangle himself.

The Mike Tyson tattoo has inspired countless fans to create their own tattoos, honoring their idol and the impact he has had on their lives. Tyson’s influence extends far beyond the ring, from boxing fans to tattoo aficionados.

When Tyson got the face tattoo, he agreed in writing that all drawings, artwork, and photographs of it belonged to Whitmill’s Paradox-Studio of Dermagraphics, an uncommon step in the tattoo industry. In The Hangover’s 2011 sequel, The Hangover Part II, the character Stu Price (played by Ed Helms) gets a face tattoo almost identical to Tyson’s. After seeing a poster depicting the tattooed Stu, Whitmill registered a copyright for the tattoo and then on April 28, 2011 filed Whitmill v. Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., seeking to enjoin The Hangover’s distributor, Warner Bros., from using the tattoo in the movie or its promotional materials. Describing the face tattoo as “one of the most distinctive tattoos in the nation”, Whitmill did not challenge “Tyson’s right to use or control his identity” but challenged Warner Bros.’ use of the design itself, without having asked his permission or given him credit.

In January 1999, Tyson returned to the ring for a match against the South African Francois Botha. This match also ended in controversy. While Botha initially controlled the fight, Tyson allegedly attempted to break Botha’s arms during a tie-up and both boxers were cautioned by the referee in the ill-tempered bout. Botha was ahead on points on all scorecards and was confident enough to mock Tyson as the fight continued. Nonetheless, Tyson landed a straight right hand in the fifth round that knocked out Botha. Critics noticed Tyson stopped using the bob and weave defense altogether following this return. Promoting the fight on Secaucus, New Jersey television station WWOR-TV, Tyson launched into an expletive-laden tirade that forced sports anchor Russ Salzberg to cut the interview short.

One of the best aspects of choosing a Mike Tyson tattoo is the ability to customize. While you might start with the idea of replicating one of Tyson’s famous tattoos, these designs can be tailored to better represent personal meanings or aesthetic preferences. Women, for instance, might opt for a more delicate or intricate styling of the tribal pattern, adding feminine touches like softer lines or integrated floral elements. Men might prefer a more rugged, stark interpretation, maintaining the boldness of the original designs.

Whether or not he deserves our sympathy is a fair question. It is easy, and not entirely unjustified, to look at Mr. Tyson, his left eye ringed by a Maori tattoo, his head shaved clean, and see a self-pitying, self-justifying man who squandered his talent and good fortune and caused much more hurt than his brutal profession required. He started out as a street criminal in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and was plucked from juvenile detention by Mr. D’Amato and his associates, who disciplined the young man’s natural volatility and turned him into a fighter.

In 2008, Zhang won a silver medal in the super heavyweight 165 pound division boxing at the Olympics. Four years later, in London, he faced Joshua in the quarter-finals and lost to the man who would become the champion. Joshua won that bout with a score of 15-11. Will there be a rematch more than eleven years later?

Tyson’s affinity for exotic pets, particularly his famous pet tiger, can be a fun and fierce addition to your tattoo design. A tiger or lion not only adds a wild element to the artwork but also signifies strength, ferocity, and a touch of unpredictability—traits often associated with Tyson himself. This makes for a visually striking tattoo that embodies the untamed spirit of both the animal and the man.

For the vast majority of fans and pundits there is little question as to who Zhang should face. The Bakole fight provides a fresh match-up and an unmissable combination of extreme power and fearlessness.
