As a result, Tyson was disqualified from the fight, fined more than $3 million, and had his boxing license suspended (though it was reinstated a year later.) He later tried to explain why he’d bitten Holyfield, saying at a press conference:
Wilder (43-3-1) is one of the most feared power-punchers of his era. A former WBC heavyweight champion, “The Bronze Bomber” finished a staggering 42 of his 43 professional wins via knockout, but has fallen on hard times as of late. Wilder has lost three of his past four contests dating back to 2020, sandwiching a knockout of Robert Helenius between two losses to Tyson Fury and one to Joseph Parker. Another setback on Saturday and the 38-year-old Alabama native may finally call it a career for good.
“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.”
For instance, whenever he’s scheduled to fight on a big stage or scheduled for a title fight, his countrymen look forward to witnessing his performance. As such, his determination and hard work have turned him into a role model for many young aspiring boxers who seek to follow in his footsteps.

“My first impression was that I’ve never had a tattoo in my life, but I thought we are fighting in a week and when you get a tattoo you can’t fight because they scab up and it wouldn’t be healthy to do that,” he said.
After Joe Calzaghe’s super middleweight victory over Mikkel Kessler in November 2007, he was frequently described as “undisputed champion”. Others disputed this, because although he held the WBA, WBC, and WBO titles, he had vacated his IBF title in November 2006 for choosing to face Peter Manfredo Jr. as his next opponent instead of mandatory challenger Robert Stieglitz.
Zhang doesn’t care, he goes for it. That’s his style. He’s got two bombs in his hands and at his range he’s unstoppable. It matters little to him that Joyce piled on the pounds and wanted to change his style.
Since his debut, Zhilei has worked hard to improve his skills, even though he embarked on professional boxing in his early 30s. It’s worth mentioning that his current record and gradual ascension towards greater achievements have drawn attention from people worldwide, especially those in his homeland, China, where he has become a national treasure.
From immense raw power to a contentious history with his coach. He has a lot of history. However, his tattoo is his USP, which a fan would recognize even from afar. The question arises, what other tattoos does he have?
The interview with Inked Mag also reveals Asher plays an important role in Tyson’s life. His third and box current wife, Lakiha “Kiki” Spicer was given a tennis racket by Asher as a child while the duo’s daughter is an outstanding tennis player herself. “How is that possible?” Tyson says in the interview. “I have the tattoo on my arm, my wife has a racket from him, and our daughter plays tennis. It’s crazy.”

Seinen letzten Kampf als aktiver Boxer bestritt Tyson bei einem neuerlichen Comebackversuch am 11. Juni 2005. Für eine Kampfbörse von fünf Millionen US-Dollar trat er dabei gegen den als eher mittelmäßig eingeschätzten irischen Boxer Kevin McBride an. In der sechsten Runde geriet Tyson, nach Punkten führend, in Schwierigkeiten, worauf er in alte Gewohnheiten zurückfiel, indem er versuchte, seinem Kontrahenten den Arm zu brechen und ihm im Anschluss mit einem vorsätzlichen Kopfstoß eine schwere Platzwunde zufügte. Für diese grobe Unsportlichkeit wurden Tyson zwei Punkte abgezogen und für den Fall eines erneuten Fehlverhaltens die Disqualifikation angekündigt. Kurz vor Ende der Runde ging Tyson nach einem rechten Haken seines Gegners zu Boden, was aber nicht als Niederschlag gezählt wurde, da McBride durch Runterdrücken nachgeholfen hatte. Tyson musste vom Ringrichter förmlich gebeten werden, wieder aufzustehen – die Kommentatoren sahen in einer Handbewegung des erschöpft am Boden liegenden Boxers die Bitte, man möge ihm aufhelfen. Er kam nur sehr langsam wieder auf die Beine und schleppte sich in seine Ecke, wo sein Trainer Jeff Fenech beschloss, den Kampf abzubrechen. Unmittelbar darauf erklärte er seinen endgültigen Rücktritt und versprach, „den Boxsport, dem er soviel zu verdanken habe, nicht mehr durch solche Auftritte lachhaft zu machen”.
