Tyson’s first nationally televised bout took place on February 16, 1986, at Houston Field House in Troy, New York, against journeyman heavyweight Jesse Ferguson, and was carried by ABC Sports. Tyson knocked down Ferguson with an uppercut in the fifth round that broke Ferguson’s nose. During the sixth round, Ferguson began to hold and clinch Tyson in an apparent attempt to avoid further punishment. After admonishing Ferguson several times to obey his commands to box, the referee finally stopped the fight near the middle of the sixth round. The fight was initially ruled a win for Tyson by disqualification (DQ) of his opponent. The ruling was “adjusted” to a win by technical knockout (TKO) after Tyson’s corner protested that a DQ win would end Tyson’s string of knockout victories, and that a knockout would have been the inevitable result.
The Paul vs. Tyson news was met with a collective groan from the combat sports community, forcing “The Problem Child” to defend himself (and the booking) on social media. Their heavyweight contest is expected to be an exhibition bout, but that hasn’t stopped opportunistic bookies from laying odds on the mid-summer showdown.
Tyson (50-6 with 44 knockouts) has not fought since losing to Kevin McBride in June 2005. He will be 58 by the time he enters the ring, making him 31 years older than the 27-year-old Paul. It is the biggest gap in boxing history.

King war bestrebt, das Image des „bösesten Mannes auf dem Planeten” zu fördern, da es sich gut vermarkten ließ. Die Weiterentwicklung von Tysons boxerischen Fähigkeiten hingegen war King weniger wichtig, der Tyson mit Aaron Snowell einen unerfahrenen Trainer zur Seite stellte. Nach Ansicht vieler Beobachter führte dies dazu, dass Tyson nicht mehr die boxerische Klasse von einst erreichte. Er versuchte fortan vermehrt, seine Gegner mit Einzelaktionen entscheidend zu treffen, ohne wie üblich methodisch mit Kombinationen nachzusetzen. Gleichzeitig vernachlässigte er seine Verteidigung, indem er auf das für ihn früher charakteristische Pendeln und Abtauchen des Oberkörpers praktisch ganz verzichtete. Dies wurde beispielsweise in Tysons erstem Kampf unter King deutlich, als er am 25. Februar 1989 gegen Frank Bruno antrat. Dabei geriet der Titelverteidiger zum ersten Mal in seiner Laufbahn ernsthaft in Bedrängnis, als er vom Briten mehrmals schwer getroffen wurde. In Runde 5 konnte Tyson seinen Gegner doch noch durch Technischen K. o. besiegen.
He said: “I just thought it was a cool tattoo. I was going to get a bunch of hearts and stuff. That would have been really stupid. I was going to be the man of hearts, baby. I was very close. Victor Perez, the tattoo artist, said, I ain’t doing that. I can’t do that.
Mike Tyson takes meticulous care of his famous facial tattoo to keep it crisp and bright. Tattoo care includes regular moisturizing of the skin with special creams to prevent flaking and fading. Tyson also avoids prolonged sun exposure and uses sunscreen with a high degree of protection to protect the tattoo from UV rays that can damage the pigments. Regular visits to the tattoo artist for corrections and line updates help maintain the original look and brightness of the tattoo. This kind of care allows Tyson to keep his tattoo in perfect condition, making it an extension of his unique and recognizable image. Mike Tyson face tattoo removal has never been considered, as it has become an integral part of his personality and a symbol of his transformation.
In a brief statement, sent a couple of days before Wilder lost his most recent fight by knockout to the Chinese heavyweight Zhilei Zhang in early June, Wilder says he “would just like to wish Mike the best.”
Matters came to a head when Tyson and Givens gave a joint interview with Barbara Walters on the ABC TV newsmagazine show 20/20 in September 1988, in which Givens described life with Tyson as “torture, pure hell, worse than anything I could possibly imagine.” Givens also described Tyson as “manic depressive” – which was later confirmed by doctors – on national television while Tyson looked on with an intent and calm expression. A month later, Givens announced that she was seeking a divorce from the allegedly abusive Tyson, with the two officially separating on February 14, 1989.
In one clip, Mike Tyson is sparring with his gears on. Here, as his partner attacks him with a combination consisting of the jab, right hand, and hooks, Tyson ducks while in proximity. Soon, as the partner is about to return, Tyson chases and retaliates with a jab and a cross. Honestly speaking, although Tyson reminds one of his younger days with the peekaboo style, his reaction time and accuracy aren’t the same.
According to the book Fire and Fear: The Inside Story of Mike Tyson, Tyson admitted that he punched Givens and stated, “that was the best punch I’ve ever thrown in my entire life.” Tyson claimed that the book was “filled with inaccuracies.” Tyson and Givens had no children, but she reported having had a miscarriage; Tyson claimed that she was never pregnant and only used that to get him to marry her. During their marriage, the couple lived in a mansion in Bernardsville, New Jersey.
