On February 11, 1990, in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, Tyson lost the championship to lightly regarded James (“Buster”) Douglas, who scored a technical knockout in the 10th round. Tyson rebounded from the loss with four straight victories. In 1991, however, he was accused of having raped a beauty pageant contestant, and he was convicted of the charge in 1992.
Flying pigeons was a big sport in Brooklyn. Everyone from Mafia dons to little ghetto kids did it. It’s unexplainable; it just gets in your blood. I learned how to handle them, learned the characteristics of them. Then it became something that I became somewhat of a master of, and I took pride in being so good at it. Everybody would let their pigeons fly at the same time, and the name of the game was to try and catch the other guys’ pigeons. It was like racing horses. Once it’s in your blood, you never stop. Wherever I lived from that day on, I always built me a coop and had pigeons.
The American former boxer Mike Tyson has four tattoos of note. Three—at least two of them prison tattoos —are portraits of men he respects: tennis player Arthur Ashe, Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, and Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong. The fourth, a face tattoo influenced by the Māori style tā moko, was designed and inked by S. Victor Whitmill in 2003. Tyson associates it with the Māori being warriors and has called it his “warrior tattoo”, a name that has also been used in the news media.
The next morning I was there right on time. Barkim came up and started lecturing me. “You can’t be going out looking like a motherfucking bum in the street. What the fuck are you doing, man? We’re moneymakers.” He was talking fast and I was trying to comprehend each word. “We’re gonna get money out site here, Shorty. Are you ready?”
Round 5: Hrgovic bleeding badly and the cut was caused by a punch. Nice jab from Dubois scores. The pace has slowed down and neither man is landing cleanly Oh, BIG RIGHT from Hrgovic. HUGE RIGHT from Hrgovic although Dubois dropped in a counter in response. Quality fight.
We always wanted to look nice on the streets because normally if you’re a little black kid out in the city looking bummy and dirty, people harass you. So we looked nice and nonthreatening. We had the school backpacks and little happy glasses and the Catholic school look with nice pants and white shirts, the whole school outfit.
Despite Fuller’s reputation as “one of the most skillful and respected defense attorneys not only in Washington, but in the country the defense team embarked on a game plan filled with ill-fated decisions and questionable strategies. While the famous Fuller seemed to give Tyson an imposing advantage, his background made him an illogical choice. Though he’d represented such notables as John Hinckley Jr. and junk-bond king Michael Milken, his reputation came mostly from federal court white-collar cases such as tax fraud and bribery. He simply wasn’t familiar with the rough-and-tumble county criminal courts, and lacked recent experience in sex-crime cases. He couldn’t locate exhibits, fumbled his delivery, exhibited a lack of knowledge of Indiana law, and generally handled Tyson’s defense more like a first-year law student than a seasoned pro.” Fuller had also successfully defended Tyson’s manager, Don King, “against federal tax-evasion charges” in 1985, which may have been one of the reasons King chose him to represent Tyson. Tyson himself would later describe Fuller as “a horrible lawyer”. According to Shaw, Fuller “never challenged obvious problems in Washington’s story. Exactly why did she remove her panty shield? How did Tyson perform oral sex on her and still keep her pinned to the bed? If Tyson is one of the strongest men in the world, where were the bruises on the 108-pound woman?”
Following her first succesful title defense, Zhang would return over a year later to defend her belt against the former UFC Strawweight champion, Rose Namajunas in the co-main event of UFC 261. The lead up to the fight would be intense as this marked the first event with crowds back in the building after the Covid pandemic. Zhang would be constantly booed by the crowds leading up to the fight. Rose Namajunas would land a picture perfect headkick on Weili, just over a minute into the first round. This kick would knock the reigning champion out, handing her, her first loss since her debut against Meng Bo. Zhang would later claim that the constant booing from the crowd put her off her game but would still show respect to Rose who was now a two time Strawweight champion.
