The film, released May 26, shows Helms waking up in Bangkok with the same facial tattoo as Tyson, who makes a brief appearance in the film. (Whitmill’s lawsuit doesn’t include Tyson because the retired boxer has an agreement saying he can be featured on film with the tattoo.)
His style earned him the nickname “El Intocable” or “The Untouchable” as he effortlessly slipped punches from his opponents, often with his hands by his side or even behind his back, box his reflexes and superb vision allowing him to frustrate his opponents throughout his two decade career.
Another important factor to consider is the pain level associated with getting a facial tattoo. The face is a sensitive area and the pain can be intense. It’s important to mentally prepare yourself for the discomfort and discuss pain management options with your tattoo artist.
After an attempt at a unification bout with Evander Holyfield ended in an extremely controversial draw (Lewis outlanded Holyfield nearly 3-to-1 in the fight), Lewis defeated Holyfield in a rematch to secure the IBF, WBA, and WBO world titles, defending them three times before suffering another shocking knockout loss at the hands of 20-to-1 underdog Hasim Rahman in South Africa.
Due to his conviction, Tyson was required to register as a Tier II sex offender under federal law. Tyson has continued to maintain his innocence. In 1992, Erinn Cosby, the daughter of comedian and actor Bill Cosby, publicly accused Tyson of sexually assaulting her in 1989, although no criminal charges were ever sought.
From afar, George had cringed at how Zhang was being developed. There was no plan, he says. No visible signs of improvement. The only objective seemed to be to lard Zhang’s record with enough warm bodies until one of the top heavyweights would pay a premium to face him. “Do you remember Nikolai Valuev?” asks George, referencing the 7-foot Russian who briefly held a heavyweight title. “That’s how everyone was looking at Zhilei. Like a gimmick.”
Years later, in January 2023, a New York woman filed a lawsuit accusing Tyson of raping her outside a nightclub in March 1991 and seeking $5 million in damages. The case was moved to U.S. District Court in Albany later that year, and a trial date hasn’t been set.
The victory made it a clean sweep for Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, which was squaring off with rival U.K. promoter Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing in a unique 5 vs. 5 team concept created by Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority.
Tyson intimidated fighters with his strength, combined with outstanding hand speed, accuracy, coordination and timing. Tyson also possessed notable defensive abilities, holding his hands high in the peek-a-boo style taught by his mentor Cus D’Amato to slip under and weave around his opponent’s punches while timing his own. Tyson’s explosive punching technique was due in large part to crouching immediately prior to throwing a hook or an uppercut: this allowed the “spring” of his legs to add power to the punch. Among his signature moves was a right hook to his opponent’s body followed by a right uppercut to his opponent’s chin. Lorenzo Boyd, Jesse Ferguson and José Ribalta were each knocked down by this combination.
Joshua went on to unify the belts by capturing the WBO title with a win over Joseph Parker and finished Alexander Povetkin before a shocking upset loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2019. Six months later, Joshua avenged his lone career loss to regain his titles and has defended them once more against Kubrat Pulev.

In a 2014 interview with Donald McRae of The Guardian, Mike Tyson was in a dark time in his life when he got his famous tattoo. “I just hated myself then,” Tyson told McRae. “I literally wanted to deface myself.” He said he wanted his whole face done, but the tattoo artist told him he had a nice face and refused.
In March 2021, it was announced that Jamie Foxx will star in, and also executive produce the official scripted series Tyson. The limited series will be directed by Antoine Fuqua and executive produced by Martin Scorsese.
Leonard utilized his speed, superior reflexes and crisp technique to lap the field in his day, beating the best of his era time and time again before retiring from the sport in 1925 at the age of 28. He held wins over the likes of Lew Tendler, Johnny Kilbane, Rocky Kansas, and Pinky Mitchell; he also challenged welterweight champ Jack Britton for his world title in 1922 and was winning the fight before he was disqualified for hitting Britton when he was down in a fight many suspected was a fix.
