The interview with Inked Mag also reveals Asher plays an important role in Tyson’s life. His third and current wife, Lakiha “Kiki” Spicer was given a tennis racket by Asher as a child while the duo’s daughter is an outstanding tennis player herself. “How is that possible?” Tyson says in the interview. “I have the tattoo on my arm, my wife has a racket from him, and our daughter plays tennis. It’s crazy.”
El 27 de noviembre de 2021, Zhang se enfrentó a Craig Lewis en la cartelera de Teófimo López contra George Kambosos Jr. Zhang comenzó la pelea lentamente, pero derribó a Lewis dos veces en la segunda ronda, lo que llevó a la esquina de Lewis a tirar la toalla, dándole a Zhang la victoria por nocaut técnico.
During the design process, Tyson and Whitmill collaborated with each other, with Tyson making suggestions on the imagery and symbolism he wanted to incorporate into the design. After several iterations, they settled on the final design, which has since become iconic.
‘Iron Mike‘ won his first 19 pro-boxing outings in way of knockdowns (12 in the 1st) thus becoming the heavyweight G.O.A.T in pro boxing spheres. Tyson was consequently also the youngest champ to hold the tenure as one. He thus remained the undisputed champ for 3 more years, summing up a neat record of 50-6-1.
Bradley and King agree that any license to Tyson would not extend to Warner Bros. recreating the tattoo on another person’s face, but Bradley concludes that Warner Bros.’ actions were nonetheless likely fair use, while King argues that the replication of the tattoo on Price’s face was satire rather than parody and thus not protected by fair use under Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. Ultimately, Bradley writes that, even if a fair use defense failed, Whitmill would not have won significant damages, as he had only registered the copyright after the alleged infringement began and could thus only collect on compensatory damages.

But an iconic tattoo having a whole different shape takes the cake. Just imagine a prime boxer with raw power, arrested multiple times, but sporting cute hearts on his face! A prime sentiment on X (@JiujitsuOtter) reacted “I’d buy him a beer for having the heart not to do it and made the most iconic tattoo in sports history instead.”
One can argue these changes bring more eyeballs to our sport and have generated more revenue for boxers. But I would say and raise a question to everyone involved: where is the integrity in our sport we once had? Being called a boxing world champion meant something, as we saw in our featherweight division in early March from Turning Stone Casino site in yahoo.com Verona, New York, an impressive come-from-behind knockout win from Raymond Ford over Otabek Kholmatov with just seven seconds to go. Now, that’s boxing at its best! A Jake Paul and Mike Tyson matchup is a severe joke and a blow to the authenticity of professional boxing. — Timothy Bradley Jr.
Despite the intense speculation and numerous hints, Jake Paul did not actually get Mike Tyson’s tattoo. The photo he posted and the bandages he wore were all part of an elaborate prank designed to create buzz and engage his audience. This revelation came to light when Jake eventually posted a video on his YouTube channel detailing the entire prank.
On May 25, 2009, 4-year-old Exodus Tyson and her elder brother, 7-year-old Miguel, were at their home in Phoenix, Arizona, with their 34-year-old mother. The older woman was cleaning the apartment when she sent her son to see what his sister, who was playing in a different room, was doing. However, once the toddler came upon his sister, he only saw that she was “in distress,” as per police records. Exodus was unconscious and tangled up in a cord, dangling by her neck from a treadmill.
The American former boxer Mike Tyson has four tattoos of note. Three—at least two of them prison tattoos —are portraits of men he respects: tennis player Arthur Ashe, Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, and Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong. The fourth, a face tattoo influenced by the Māori style tā moko, was designed and inked by S. Victor Whitmill in 2003. Tyson associates it with the Māori being warriors and has called it his “warrior tattoo”, a name that has also been used in the news media.
In March 2009, 4-year-old Exodus tragically died after accidentally strangling herself on a treadmill cord at her mother’s home in Phoenix. Tyson spoke about the incident later that year in a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey. “My first instinct was a lot of rage, and I am so happy I had the tools in life not to go in that direction,” he said. “There was no animosity. There was no anger towards anybody. I don’t know how she died, and I don’t want to know.”
