Almost two decades on from when ‘Iron Mike’ last stepped into the ring in a professional bout, a defeat to Kevin McBride in 2005, the legendary heavyweight makes his return pistol off in my boxers i ain got time to be boxing an event that will draw attention from the world of sport and beyond.
TYSON: Yeah. See, in my personal opinion, I don’t think that’s something that Obama should have been involved with. should be just like anybody else. You state your complaint, you get your supporters, and your guys march on a certain police station. I believe in that kind of stuff.
Almost as soon as Givens left Tyson’s life, Don King entered. King had waited a long time. For years, Tyson had been making mincemeat of King’s stable of heavyweight champions, and it frustrated the promoter deeply that he had no piece of the champ. King’s first opening came at Jim Jacob’s funeral, which he attended uninvited, loudly condemning Tyson’s managers for such indignities as not having a limo ready for the champ. He had also worked strenuously to bring to light the suspicions of Givens and her mother toward Bill Cayton. And now, with Givens out of the picture, he pounced, offering Tyson the use of his farm in Ohio to recuperate from his disastrous marriage. King also proved useful, moving swiftly to close Tyson’s joint accounts with Givens, just in time to prevent her from transferring over $600,000 into her own account.
Langford is widely considered the greatest boxer to never win a world title (though in 2020, the WBC recognized Langford as an honorary world champion) and in addition to defeating lightweight champion Joe Gans in a non-title affair, Langford also beat former middleweight champion Stanley Ketchel, former light heavyweight champion Jack O’Brien, and future middleweight champion Tiger Flowers.
Round 3: Zhang moves him around with easy. Wilder’s corner implored him to do something, saying they don’t want him to be a punching bag. For the first minute of this round he is. He’s just not punching. Zhang moves him to the corner, hits, Wilder moves away, and it happens again.
Round 2: Zhang may have hurt Wilder and was unloading some shots in the corner that Wilder mostly avoided. Wilder doesn’t look at all like the Wilder of old. Zhang is backing him down and taking it to the former champ.
Paul was in conversation with his girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam, and rapper, Lil Pump, on the latest episode of his podcast, B/S with Jake Paul. During the conversation, Paul dropped the bomb about his plan to get a face tattoo in the week leading to the fight. This statement instantaneously earned him a nod of disapproval from Leerdam. Paul continued, “I’m not gonna get the Tyson one, but Tyson, like, got his legendary tattoo; he just.”
There are still quite a few months to go before we get to tune in live with our Netflix subscriptions and see Mike Tyson and Jake Paul throw down, but “The Problem Child” is already poking the bear and calling out Iron Mike on Instagram. The boxing legend gave a rather tame reply to Paul saying he’s “put him to sleep,” and Paul decided to double down and post another reply to Instagram Stories:
“People just see an animal. They call me a savage. I’m the most vicious, ruthless champion there’s ever been. No one can match me,” says Rhodes, 32, as Tyson, now 56. “My style’s impetuous. I’m ferocious. I want your heart, I want to eat your children. Praise be to Allah.”
“Desiree is such a little girl, but it’s a powerful notion,” Nassau said. “She brought down a huge icon. Mike Tyson had been undefeated, for the most part. Here this 18-year-old contestant comes along and she defeats him.”
Mike Tyson’s tribal face tattoo, a striking Maori-inspired design from New Zealand, represents a significant chapter in his life story. He chose this powerful symbol in 2003, just before his bout against Clifford Etienne. Tyson once revealed, “I just thought it was a cool tattoo,” expressing a moment of spontaneity that turned into a lasting legacy. Initially considering hearts, he was swayed towards something that mirrored his fierce spirit, ultimately deciding, “This is cool; I like this.”

Leonard utilized his speed, superior reflexes and crisp technique to lap the field in his day, beating the best of his era time and time again before retiring from the sport in 1925 at the age of 28. He held wins over the likes of Lew Tendler, Johnny Kilbane, Rocky Kansas, and Pinky Mitchell; he also challenged welterweight champ Jack Britton for his world title in 1922 and was winning the fight before he was disqualified for hitting Britton when he was down in a fight many suspected was a fix.
