After months of dancing around rules for their controversial boxing match this summer, on Monday it was announced that the bout has been officially sanctioned and will go down as a professional matchup.
Jake Paul has caused quite a stir and left fans speechless when he announced that he would fight Mike Tyson. Furthermore, the fight will be on July 20, and it will be a non-PPV event and will be streamed on Netflix. As such, Paul has already started working on the promotion of the fight and has decided to imitate Tyson to the letter. Subsequently, Paul did it with an impression of Tyson and by getting his face tattooed.
A un mes de cumplir los 40, Zhilei Zhang lograba un hito en la historia de su país. Se convirtió en el octavo campeón mundial chino e igualó algo que parecía inalcanzable: ser medallista olímpico y alzar un Mundial profesional, algo que sólo había logrado antes Zou Shiming (triple medallista olímpico y monarca del minimosca). Todo había cambiado en unos minutos. El Gigante Chino acababa de romper todos los planes. Su posición en el boxeo varió, pero no él. Sigue siendo el mismo chico tímido que es muy reservado con todo lo que hace fuera del ring.
Tyson continued to win in 1991 before legal issues halted his career. After being arrested for rape, Tyson spent six years behind bars. During this time, Tyson converted to Islam. Upon release, Mike Tyson was legally required to register as a sex offender.
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.

On Tyson’s right arm is a detailed portrait of Mao Zedong, the Chinese revolutionary leader. Tyson chose this tattoo as a symbol of rebellion and resilience, traits he saw in himself. The tattoo reflects Tyson’s interest in socialist and revolutionary ideologies, showcasing his alignment with figures who disrupted the status quo.
Entertainment Tonight later followed up the interview with a statement from a rep for Mike, saying, „My life rights option expired years ago. Hulu nor any of their supercilious team ever tried to engage in any negotiations with this Black man.“
„Talk about a great pairing of nicknames — „The Bronze Bomber“ versus „Big Bang“ Zhang. This is a fight that demands a knockout ending, and according to the oddsmakers who have Zhang a slight favorite, one has the right to assume they’re most swayed by the difference in punch resistance that favors Zhang as well as Wilder’s dismal performance against common conqueror Joseph Parker, a man Zhang floored twice before losing on points. If Zhang lands his lethal left cross on Wilder’s chin, especially early, there will be no opportunity for Wilder to exploit Zhang’s biggest weakness, stamina. That’s what happened in the Joe Joyce rematch and the pick is that Zhang’s „Big Bang“ will be enough to take out the „Bronze Bomber.“
Mike Tyson’s personal life has been a rollercoaster of triumphs, setbacks, and personal growth. From his challenging upbringing to his high-profile relationships, legal issues, and post-retirement endeavors, Tyson’s personal journey adds depth to his larger-than-life persona, making him an enigmatic figure both inside and outside the boxing ring. Despite the controversies and hardships, Tyson’s legacy as a boxing legend remains, and his story serves as a testament to the resilience and capacity for change within the human spirit.
Tyson’s respect for Zedong came while in prison where he read several books about the leader. It was while inside that Tyson decided to get a portrait tattoo of Zedong, with his name „Mao“ tattooed underneath. In 2006 Tyson visited the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, with the Chicago Tribune reporting Tyson said, „Standing in front of Chairman Mao’s remains, I felt really insignificant. To have the chance to visit the memorial hall is a great honor for me.“
„This is a fight between two heavyweights that can really bang. Unlike Joseph Parker, Zhang will be much easier to find for Wilder. There are clear pathways for his right hand to land versus the huge Chinese southpaw. But just as he did against Fury, he is facing a huge weight deficit, and if he gets pushed back, his right hand is that much less effective. If Zhang come in a bit lighter (and therefore a bit more mobile than he was in his last fight) I expect him to put Wilder on the back foot and eventually stop Wilder in the seventh or eighth round. Wilder is still somewhat dangerous, but I wonder if he has his legs underneath him.“
„Here’s another intriguing fight in a whole series of 2024 interesting matchups. Two big old guys, two big punchers. This could go a number of ways, and I’m hoping its not a boring, plodding affair. My feeling is that it will go to the other side of the coin. It should provide tense, edge-of-the-seat stuff because of the thudding power each possesses. I would not be at all surprised to see each man knocked down in this one. Wilder looked like he was seriously deteriorating in the match against Parker, who boxed smartly. However, Parker has a whole different skillset than Zhang, so I don’t see the Chinese star being able to use the same strategy. In trying to visualize, I see in bing.com both landing power shots, but Zhang better able to absorb, and eventually knocking out Wilder somewhere around the eighth round.“
