Tyson’s pro career was interrupted by three years in prison after he was sentenced for rape. He returned to the ring but wasn’t the same. He had 14 fights after his release from prison and went 9-5. During that stretch, he endured consecutive losses to Evander Holyfield. He ended his career, losing three out of four fights, falling to Lennox Lewis, Danny Williams, and Kevin McBride.
Tyson had his final professional win in 2003, a 49-second first-round knockout. Later that year, he filed for bankruptcy, claiming to be $34 million in debt after having earned an estimated $400 million over the course of his career. Tyson lost bouts in 2004 and 2005, and he retired in the aftermath of the latter fight. In 2007 he served 24 hours in prison after pleading guilty to drug possession and driving under the influence, charges that stemmed from a 2006 arrest.
Start by check the details of Mike Tyson’s most famous tattoos. Understand the elements that make his ink so recognizable—the tribal patterns around his eye, the portrait of Mao Zedong, the Chinese characters, and more. Consider which aspects resonate most with you, and think about how these could be adapted or integrated into a design that speaks to your personality and style. Remember, it’s about more than copying; it’s about making a piece that honors the essence of Tyson while also being unmistakably yours.
Tyson did the cardinal sin of tattooing and got his partner’s portrait inked on his left forearm. If there is one thing you never do it’s tattoo a lover’s name or image on your body. Tyson and Monica Turner met in the mid-90s and married in 1997. They stayed together until 2002, when Turner filed for divorce claiming Tyson had committed adultery throughout their five-year marriage. The divorce was finalized in 2003 and the two went their separate ways.
“A week later he fought and knocked out Clifford in one round and I was upset. I was happy for Mike that he won, but I was also upset that I had trained him for eight weeks and I wasn’t part of that win.”
The legal action renewed claims of cultural appropriation but also saw some Māori tā moko artists defend Whitmill. Legal scholars have highlighted how the case juxtaposes Māori and Anglo-American attitudes on ownership of images. Despite never making it to trial, the case has been widely discussed in the context of the copyrightability of tattoos, a matter which has never been fully resolved in the United States.
Suddenly the sideshow was a star. Only in Zhang’s camp, it wasn’t sudden. “Nobody wanted to trust the process,” says George. “Everybody thinks he just figured out how to fight. That’s not the case. Zhilei knew how to fight a long time ago. He’s like a giant that just needed to be provoked.”
6:57 p.m. ET/ 11:57 p.m. GMT: We move to the heavyweight division and it’s back to the 5v5 format. Daniel Dubois (Queensberry) vs. Filip Hrgovic (Matchoom) will throw down in a potentially explosive encounter. Remember, Queensberry are 6-0 ahead, so Matchroom needs two knockouts in the final two bouts just to get a draw. Michael Buffer is now on the mic… We head back to round-by-round scoring.
“Life is gonna hurt him really bad. I lived in fear. I am from Brownsville, Brooklyn. I’m what boxing division would i be in fear looks like. Look at me. If you think anybody’s afraid of me, I’m probably a thousand times more afraid of them than they are of me. That’s why I’m more aggressive than they are.”
“We thought we’d break him down in close,” said Sheeraz afterwards. “I know everyone says ‘use your jab’, but, at the same time, I need to break him down. I was throwing the uppercut, but the corner was saying right hook. I turned it over and he was gone.

Different generations. You run into some kid, this is a real humbling experience. I went to this high school. Six hundred kids in the room, 700 kids, maybe 1,000. They had this big screen, giant, 10-by-10. They were showing the kids some of my fights because they didn’t know who I was. They just thought I was an actor from The Hangover. This one little Mexican kid said, ‘I think my grandfather told me about you.’ Never in my life am I going to forget that. You talk about a humbling experience.
