The fight itself was shockingly brief. Rather than attempting to box and testing Tyson’s by now suspect stamina, Etienne came in to try and blast division champions boxing‘s most famous heavyweight out – with predictable results. As the two swung wildly at one another, Etienne was caught clean with a couple of blows before the pair clinched and wrestled one another to the canvas.
Mike Tyson’s face tattoo is iconic, steeped in mystery. But why did he choose it? As Tyson prepares to face Jake Paul on July 20th, intrigue intensifies. Beyond his face, Tyson’s skin tells stories. Mao Zedong on his arm, Che Guevara on his ribcage.
But an iconic tattoo having a whole different shape takes the cake. Just imagine a prime boxer with raw power, arrested multiple times, but sporting cute hearts on his face! A prime sentiment on X (@JiujitsuOtter) reacted “I’d buy him a beer for having the heart not to do it and made the most iconic tattoo in sports history instead.”
Beyond its deeper meanings, the facial tattoo has also become a key part of Tyson’s visual identity, making him instantly recognizable and differentiating him from other athletes and celebrities. This tattoo has helped forge his image as a tough, resilient, and singular figure in pop culture, further cemented by its appearances in film, television, and media where Tyson plays either himself or characters inspired by his persona.
Zhang’s wife, Jiang Huanhuan (蒋欢欢), is a retired starting pitcher for the Henan provincial softball team. They met in 1998, started dating in 2000, and married in December 2006. They have a son, born 2010. Zhang rarely visits his wife and son in China due to problems re-entering the United States.
Mayer, 32, was due to face Christina Linardatou, 34, from Greece, a former victim of Taylor, in her first fight at lightweight. But Linardatou failed a medical and Mayer had to adjust to a late change of opponent to stay on course for a possible shot at Taylor, ESPN women’s pound-for-pound No 2.
O.K. So how is it that Zhang, 40 years old and more than a decade into his pro career, is suddenly one of boxing’s best big men? For that you have to go to George, a fringe cruiserweight who retired in 2009. At the urging of his manager—Duva’s father, Lou—George decided to get into training. Lou invited George to a U.S.–China national team dual meet in New York and pointed out Zhang. “Watch this guy,” he told George. “He’s going to be heavyweight champ.”
Round 2: Zhang coming out slightly more aggressive this round as he walks Joyce down. Jab to the head, job to the body for Zhang. Joyce jabs the body. Zhang with a quick left hook body blow. Zhang lets a couple of left hands go, Joyce with good defense. Zhang lands a left and Joyce felt that one, Zhang follows him to the ropes. There’s a another left from Zhang, Joyce answers with a 1-2. Joyce looks for a combination, but Zhang blocks. Zhang headhunting as Joyce moves out of the way. He persists and Joyce eats a couple of hard lefts. Bell rings and Joyce might be grateful for it.
“They said I looked like some tribesman or s***. I ran into some chicks that happened to be from the Maowi tribe and they said ‘hey, you’ve got some of my tribe on your face’ and the lady pulled her pants down and she has this tattoo on her butt.”
So, will Paul’s daring mimicry amplify his own legacy, or will it be remembered as a fleeting spectacle in the annals of boxing history? Let us know your thoughts on Jake Paul getting the Mike Tyson tattoo.
“Life is gonna hurt him really bad. I lived in fear. I am from Brownsville, Brooklyn. I’m what 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.”

“So I’m just like, F*ck it, like, why not just do it because Tyson did it? It’s a story behind Tyson’s face tat is, it was like Wednesday of his fight week, and he just got it, and he showed up to the presser the next day with the face tat and he didn’t tell anybody. So I’m thinking about doing that in honor.”
