Joyce, 37, was the WBO interim champion in the division, a title that effectively made him the WBO’s mandatory challenger for WBO, IBO, IBF and WBA champion Usyk. Britain’s Tyson Fury holds the WBC title.
Two years prior to the bout, Tyson had made several inflammatory remarks to Lewis in an interview following the Savarese fight. The remarks included the statement “I want your heart, I want to eat your children.” On January 22, 2002, the two boxers and their entourages were involved in a brawl at a New York press conference to publicize the planned event. A few weeks later, the Nevada State Athletic Commission refused to grant Tyson a license for the fight, and the promoters had to make alternative arrangements. After multiple states balked at granting Tyson a license, the fight eventually occurred on June 8 at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee. Lewis dominated the fight and knocked out Tyson with a right hand in the eighth round. Tyson was respectful after the fight and praised Lewis on his victory. This fight was the highest-grossing event in pay-per-view history at that time, generating $106.9 million from 1.95 million buys in the US.
Nel seguente incontro Zhang sconfigge l’inglese Joe Joyce al 6º round per KO Tecnico, dopo che Joyce ha subito un brutto gonfiore all’occhio destro. Il 23 settembre 2023 si verifica il rematch tra i due, un Joyce più lento e più pesante di 11 kg rispetto al primo incontro viene sconfitto nuovamente da Zhang dopo essere stato colpito da un gancio destro al mento.
“My life rights option expired years ago,” the statement continues. “Hulu nor any of their supercilious team ever tried to engage in any negotiations with this Black man. In their eyes I am still just a n*****r on the auction block ready to be sold for their profit without any regard for my worth or my family.”
Bradley and King agree that any license to Tyson would not extend to Warner Bros. recreating the tattoo on another person’s face, but Bradley concludes that Warner Bros.’ actions were nonetheless likely fair use, while King argues that the replication of the tattoo on Price’s face was satire rather than parody and thus not protected by fair use under Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, box Inc. Ultimately, Bradley writes that, even if a fair use defense failed, Whitmill would not have won significant damages, as he had only registered the copyright after the alleged infringement began and could thus only collect on compensatory damages.
“The Baddest Man on the Planet” added the WBA and IBF to his WBC title with wins over James Smith and Tony Tucker before retaining his belts against heavyweight legend Larry Holmes and Olympic champion Michael Spinks.
“Don’t let Hulu fool you. I don’t support their story about my life,” Mike wrote in a brief Instagram statement. “It’s not 1822. It’s 2022. They stole my life story and didn’t pay me. To Hulu executives I’m just a they can sell on the auction block.” He then took to Twitter to say that “someone should get fired” over the series.
This temporary tattoo was set to last for at least one week. While the bet was relatively safe, as it was only for a week, not everyone can confidently pull off a face tattoo. Surprisingly, Julia managed to carry it off quite well, and it suited her appearance.
Tyson wouldn’t be fighting Paul, he says, if there wasn’t a chance he could fail or be humiliated. As he talks, Tyson leans in and reflects on what he’s learned through failure. He speaks softly but never breaks eye contact.
Last month it was announced that Paul, a Youtuber-turned-boxer with ten professional fights to his name, would be taking on former unified world champion Tyson in a boxing match at the AT&T Arena in Texas.
WBO interim heavyweight champion Zhilei Zhang (26-2-1, 21 KOs) looked his age tonight, losing a 12-round majority decision to former WBO champion Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KOs) on Saturday night at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Zhang scored two knockdowns, but couldn’t follow up due to his conditioning.
Last month, pictures of Jake Paul with a face tattoo resembling the one Mike Tyson made headlines. Many fans and followers pointed out that it was a fake photo op to promote the upcoming fight. But for an altogether unconventional reason, ‘The Problem Child’, as it turns out, appears quite serious about getting one.
Zhang Zhilei verlor im Achtelfinale der Weltmeisterschaft 2003 in Bangkok gegen Grzegorz Kiełsa , gewann jedoch 2004 eine Bronzemedaille bei der Asienmeisterschaft in Puerto Princesa und die Silbermedaille bei der World University Championship in Antalya, nachdem er jeweils gegen Rustam Saidov unterlegen war. Bei der Weltmeisterschaft 2005 in Mianyang schlug er Vüqar Ələkbərov, schied jedoch im Viertelfinale gegen Odlanier Solís aus.
2007 verlor er im Finale der Asienmeisterschaft in Ulaanbaatar erneut gegen Rustam Saidov und startete bei der Weltmeisterschaft in Chicago, wo er erst im Halbfinale mit einer Bronzemedaille gegen Wjatscheslaw Hlaskow ausschied. Er war mit diesem Erfolg für die Olympischen Sommerspiele 2008 in Peking qualifiziert, wo er mit drei Siegen das Finale erreichte und beim Kampf um die Goldmedaille gegen Roberto Cammarelle verlor. Zudem unterlag er im Viertelfinale des Weltcups 2008 in Moskau gegen Robert Alfonso.
