Jake Paul shocked the world after his recent announcement of his next fight against Mike Tyson. The social media influencer is currently on a winning run in the ring. However, fans have criticized him for choosing 57-year-old Mike Tyson as his next opponent. Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo recently took to their podcast to discuss the fight, with the UFC veteran sharing his thoughts on how much Tyson will earn from the fight.
The former UFC middleweight championship contender accused Tyson, the former boxing heavyweight champion, of faking his training video for an upcoming fight against Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium on July 20 in Netflix’s first boxing event.
To be honest I was a bit sceptical at first because I live on a farm and do lots of vigorous physical exercise so I was worried they would come off but to my surprise they didn’t and I love them I’ve gotten so many comment and how real they look and how cool they are they are AMAZING 😍
The most famous Mike Tyson tattoo is undoubtedly the tribal design that curves around his left eye. This piece, which Tyson got during a turbulent period in his life, represents his warrior status and his fighting spirit. The bold, black tribal marks are not just distinctive; they have become a symbol of fearlessness and have been widely replicated by fans and fighters alike.
Mr Whitmill claimed Tyson gave him the copyright of the tattoo and Warner Bros. using it in The Hangover was a violation of copyright infringement laws. He tried to stop the release of The Hangover 2 but ended up settling out of court for an unknown amount.
On November 22, 2017, Paul released a remix of “It’s Everyday Bro”, featuring American rapper Gucci Mane in place of Team 10, alongside the new music video for it. On April 27, 2018, he released the single and music video for “Malibu” with now-former Team 10 member Chad Tepper. On May 11, he released another single and music video for “My Teachers”, featuring now-former Team 10 members Sunny Malouf and Anthony Trujillo, along with the music video. On May 24, he released two singles, “Randy Savage” and “Cartier Vision”. The former song features Team 10 and hip-hop duo Jitt & Quan, featuring vocals from Team 10 members at the time, consisting of Anthony Trujillo, Sunny Malouf, Justin Roberts, Erika Costell, and Chad Tepper; it was released along with the music video. The latter song features Anthony and the duo as well; the music video was released later on September 12.
Tyson also revealed that he is no longer vegan, stating, “I was a vegan for four years but not anymore. I eat chicken every now and then. I should be a vegan. at all, no way! I would be very sick if I ate red meat. That’s probably why I was so crazy before.”
When did Mike Tyson get his tattoo and showed it to the public for the first time, it elicited a wide range of reactions. Some praised the boldness and uniqueness of the design, while others criticized it as unconventional or even controversial.
Despite the backlash, the incident did little to dampen Jake Paul’s rising career. In fact, it added another layer to his complex persona, showcasing his ability to manipulate public perception and maintain a high level of engagement with his audience. The incident also highlighted the ongoing trend of influencers using shock value and sensationalism to stay relevant in a crowded digital landscape.
Rachael A. Carmen et al. in the Review of General Psychology posit that Tyson’s face tattoo may be an example of “body ornamentation as a form of intimidation”. Charlie Connell and Edmund Sullivan in Inked describe it as having become “instantly iconic”, while Vice’s Mitchell Sunderland ranks it as one of the two things Tyson is best known for, alongside biting off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear. Marie Hadley, in A History of Intellectual Property in 50 Objects, writes that the tattoo “has been described as one of the most distinctive tattoos in North America”. Its stature has increased over time, aided by Tyson and the 2009 comedy The Hangover, in which it is prominent on Tyson, who appears as a fictionalized version of himself. The tattoo has become strongly associated with Tyson and has made his persona more distinctive.
Paul, with a record of 9-1 and six knockouts, has swiftly transitioned from YouTuber to a force to be reckoned with in the boxing arena. Despite a lone loss to Tommy Fury, Paul has defeated notable opponents such as Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and Tyron Woodley.
Mike Tyson is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time. Fear is what he instilled in every opponent who had the courage to face ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ in the squared circle. It might be hard to imagine, but even an intimidating guy like Tyson once had a childhood laden with insecurities. One of the many chinks in the armor of ‘Iron Mike’ during his childhood had to do with his speech impediment for which he was picked on as a kid.
