Tyson retired from professional boxing in 2005 due to a combination of physical decline, mental and emotional challenges, and financial troubles. After a series of losses that highlighted his decreasing ability to compete at a top level, Tyson acknowledged that he no longer had the heart to fight. His physical capabilities had diminished with age, and he struggled with motivation and focus, which were compounded by significant financial difficulties. These factors led him to conclude his boxing career after a defeat to Kevin McBride.

Larry Holmes, boxeador campeão mundial nos anos 1970/80, foi o único da história a nocautear Muhammad Ali, que já estava no fim da carreira em 1980. Em sua autobiografia, Tyson conta que sua vitória contra Holmes, em 1988, serviu como vingança, já que Ali era um dos seus grandes ídolos.

While ‘Triple C’ points out the major monetary benefits that ‘Iron’ would be making out of this fight, is it still worth taking a risk? UFC CEO Dana White recently completed a successful UFC 299 event and shared why he doesn’t like the upcoming fight and gave his own reasons.

Paul has often expressed his respect for Tyson, citing him as one of his boxing idols. By getting a face tattoo similar to Tyson’s, Paul aims to honor the former heavyweight champion and further solidify his own identity as a serious contender in the boxing arena.

Following this, Paul replicated the famed Tyson clip when the boxer asked Canadian boxer Donovan ‘Razor’ Ruddock to become his ‘girlfriend’. Paul mimicked Tyson and said, "Oh man, I can’t wait for the night of the 20th. I’m gonna make Mike my girlfriend."

"I’m not doing it from a funny perspective," said Tyson. "People think I’m funny and I’m a standup comic, but that’s not who I am. I’m just expressing a story in the way I saw it happen and unfold. People may laugh about it, but it’s just my personal opinion of my life and how it unfolded and how I got in this situation that I’m in now."

mike tyson vs jake paul tattoo Tyson, the legendary heavyweight boxer, is known not only for his exceptional skills in the ring but also for his distinctive face tattoo. The tattoo, which covers a significant portion of his left eye and cheek, has become an iconic symbol associated with the enigmatic persona of Iron Mike.

Tyson got the tattoo done a week before the fight, and because of his lack of conditioning, he was asked to cancel the fight. However, Tyson decided to go forward with it and broke everyone’s expectations by defeating Etienne in 49 seconds.

It was in the lead-up to the bout that ‘Iron’ Mike decided to get his now signature Māori warrior tattoo. Reportedly done by celebrated tattoo artist S. Victor Whitmill from Las Vegas, the story goes that Tyson originally wanted hearts on his face. However, Whitmill refused to go with the concept. Given that he has himself led the life of a warrior, the former heavyweight champion liked it when Whitmill introduced the Māori ‘tā moko’, a permanent ink decking the faces of Māori tribesmen from New Zealand.

Today, he is a financially healthy family man and husband of fifteen years, a New York Times best-selling author who performed his own autobiography as a one-man Broadway show, the owner of one of the nation’s most successful celebrity cannabis brands, and a podcaster who gets really deep—and really high—with his guests. This late-life renaissance has led Tyson to take on an opponent he knows he can’t knock out but wishes to take the distance: Father Time.

The age difference between the two is an inescapable, circuslike element in how the fight has been promoted and covered. The thirty-one-year age gap between Tyson and Paul is reminiscent of the multi-decade age gap presented in a fictional fight in the 2006 film Rocky Balboa. The difference is also greater than that in another major fight in Tyson’s career, when, at twenty-one, he decimated thirty-eight-year-old Larry Holmes with a fourth-round knockout. Tyson takes a breath before considering any parallels between this fight and the one from 1988. He is unbothered being on the other side of a younger challenger. Tyson, who is a summa cum laude scholar when it comes to the history of boxing, notes one "big fundamental difference" between the bouts. There are levels to these mind games, and no one has weaponized the word YouTuber quite like him.

Failure is an advanced form of learning for Tyson, but he’s hoping to avoid another lesson in loss in north Texas. Tyson does have respect for Paul, who went from performing skits on Vine in 2013 to fighting in his second professional-boxing match on the card of Tyson’s exhibition fight with Jones in 2020. He still calls Paul a friend, even as the influencer has vowed to "knock this old man the fuck out." But Tyson revels in talking shit and trolling him. Like the time he called Paul "fat and funky" in assessing his opponent’s shirtless physique. Or when he said that a video of Paul dancing when he was sixteen strangely gave Tyson an erection. Two days after he suffered the ulcer flare-up, Tyson couldn’t help but jab at Paul on X: "Now feeling 100% even though I don’t need to be to beat Jake Paul."
