In his third contest, he knocked out Olympic wrestler and MMA Champion Ben Askren in one round. In an episode of his podcast Funky and the Champ, Askren sided with Paul in a fight that is ‘lose-lose’.
He has yet another portrait of Che Guevara on his left abdomen. It is a copy of the famous Guerrillero Heroico photograph. Tyson got it in prison as well, as he was deeply mistrusting of his state and current government back then. Additionally, Kid Dynamite has a portrait of Monica Turner on the left forearm and a Dragon tattoo on his right forearm.
Parker was able to split Zhang’s guard with quick one-twos and used his feet to circle around the southpaw. And as Zhang sat on the stool before Round 12, his corner instructed him to score another knockdown. Instead, Zhang landed zero punches in the final round.
Zhang first met Kurt Li (李茂沛), his English translator (2012–) and his co-manager (2021–) when Li was a staff member handling application forms at the Department of Sports in the 2000s. Zhang asked Li for an application form and Li, a Sichuan Mandarin speaker, did not understand him.
The Olympic bronze medallist has faced issues locking down a willing dance partner in recent months and had been due to face Zhang on the Canelo Alvarez-Dmitry Bivol card in May before the fight was pushed back following the loss of Hrgovic’s father.

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:
The streaming platform will provide live coverage of the bout between the 27-year-old Paul and 57-year-old Tyson, who hasn’t fought since he and Roy Jones Jr. met in a 2020 exhibition that ended as a draw.
Mike Tyson has been chronicling his intense training in the lead-up to his fight with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX on July 20. The bout, which will air on Netflix, will find the 57-year-old former undisputed heavyweight boxing champ taking on the 27-year-old Paul in Iron Mike’s first official fight in 19 years.
Tyson’s face tattoo has sparked countless conversations, debates, and even controversy. It challenges the status quo and invites people to question their own perceptions of beauty and self-expression.
Not a former champ in the opposite corner, nor a recent defeat — and definitely not his age — can deter China’s heavyweight boxer Zhang Zhilei from punching his way back into title contention once more.
Zhang made her professional MMA debut in 2013. After losing her professional debut to Meng Bo by unanimous decision, she would go on to win 11 straight fights before challenging Simone Duarte for the Kunlun Fight Female Strawweight Championship on May 25, 2017, at Kunlun Fight MMA 11. She won the fight via TKO in the second round. Zhang made her first title defense against Aline Sattelmayer on June 1, 2017, at Kunlun Fight MMA 12. She won the fight by unanimous decision. On July 22, 2017, Zhang attempted to win a second title, when she challenged Seo Ye-dam (서예담) for the vacant Top FC Strawweight Championship at TOP FC 15. She won the fight via TKO in the second round to capture the title. In her next bout, Zhang made her second KLF title defense against Marilia Santos on August 28, 2017, at Kunlun Fight MMA 14. She won the fight via TKO in the second round. Zhang would fight one more time for KLF, amassing a record of 16-1 and improving her winning streak to 16 before she signed with the UFC.
Jake also has multiple matching tattoos that he’s received as dares or for YouTube videos. One specific matching tat is the word « GOAT » that is located on his thigh, meaning « Greatest of All Time, » which he received with ex-girlfriend Erika Costell back in 2018.
That’s a good question. For the moment, what we know is that Netflix is set to livestream the event from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Aside from that and a reported $20 million payday for Mike Tyson, not much else is known, including what Jake Paul himself is set to earn. It’s worth noting that according to reports, the promoters of the fight have not provided any details to the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation which could also be why information is scarce.
Expert troller Paul has been doing his part to hype the fight, posting a video on Sunday in which he appeared to have gotten his own version of Tyson’s infamous tribal face tattoo while biting down on a fake plastic ear site in yahoo.com a reference to Tyson’s 1997 fight where he bit off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear.
