Queensberry is headed by Frank Warren and promotes fighters such as Tyson Fury and Joseph Parker. Matchroom Boxing is led by Eddie Hearn and promotes fighters including Anthony Joshua, Katie Taylor and Edgar Berlanga.
Another prison tattoo Tyson got while behind bars was that of tennis player Arthur Asher. The tattoo is a portrait of Asher with the words «Days of Grace» written above the image. He decided to get the ink after reading Asher’s biography, Days of Grace, which Spike Lee sent him.
Picking up where he left off in their first fight, a confident Zhang flattened Joyce with a right hand toward the end of the round in front of the Londoner’s home crowd. The win and the manner in which he delivered it might earn Zhang a world title shot in 2024.
Round 6: Zinad lands a hook to the body early as Bivol got a little lazy. And another one up top this time. Bivol is controlling space though and resets. Hets the jab going. Lands a left hook. He’s not willing to step up his pace or power at this point.
But it’s hard to believe we’ll see the older Wilder after he looked wholly uninspired in the unanimous decision loss to Parker in December. It seems more likely that Zhang beats away at Wilder for 12 and «The Bronze Bomber» is unable to respond with a shot that backs him up.
Mosley announced his second retirement on December 7, 2013. He stated that he plans to become a trainer, to train his son, Shane Jr., and other young fighters. In an interview with World Boxing News, when asked if he had any desire to lace up his gloves and return to the ring professionally, he said he would only consider a return to the sport against the very top welterweights in the world. He specifically named Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao, and Juan Manuel Márquez. He also said in another interview in early 2015 that he was not sure if he would fight again, but that he wanted to come back and face a fighter of similar age and specifically named Juan Manuel Márquez.
The 2008 Olympic silver medalist from China, began his career later than most, turning professional at 31. He steadily worked his way up the heavyweight division until securing a fight with Filip Hrgovic, who features on the undercard, in 2022.
Tyson later revealed that he was suffering from gonorrhoea but had been too embarrassed to see a doctor when he fought Berbick. He also confessed that Muhammad Ali amusingly whispered «Get him for me» when introduced to him in the ring before the fight. Berbick was slain by the forces of his own bravado and Tyson’s blistering speed and ferocious power. He tried to maul, attack and hold his ground and paid the boxing weight division junior lightweight is also known by what name? price. After a rocky first round, the West Indian was demolished in the second, the finishing touch coming from a delayed reaction to a clubbing inside punch from Tyson as they wrested close. The punch shattered Berbick’s sense of balance and took his legs away. It’s still an extraordinary sight to see Berbick fall no less than three times from one punch. The shellshocked Dundee was amazed by Tyson’s handspeed at close quarter. The teenager seemed to be the real deal.
Zwei Monate später, am 9. November 1996, kam es schließlich zu dem seit Jahren geplanten Kampf gegen Evander Holyfield, wenn auch mit vertauschten Rollen. Diesmal war es Tyson, der als (WBA-)Weltmeister in den Ring stieg. Herausforderer Holyfield galt angesichts seiner ein Jahr zuvor erlittenen K.-o.-Niederlage gegen Riddick Bowe und seiner angeblichen Herzprobleme bei den Buchmachern als krasser Außenseiter. Bei einer Umfrage des Las Vegas Review Journal setzten 47 von 48 Journalisten auf Mike Tyson.

In 2003, Mike Tyson’s boxing career was coming to an end. When he stepped into the ring against Clifford Ettienne, however, something was different. While Iron Mike was able to dispatch his opponent without breaking a sweat, he was sporting a new tattoo on his face.
Prior to one of the biggest fights of his career, Mosley began training with Naazim Richardson. Mosley regained the WBA (Super) welterweight title from Antonio Margarito on January 24, 2009, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Mosley, now 37 years old, came into the fight as a 4–1 underdog with the bookies after Margarito had spectacularly stopped Cotto 6 months earlier. Prior to the bout, very few gave Mosley a chance of prevailing, with the prevailing view that Margarito was too strong and young for Mosley. The conventional wisdom was that this was a mismatch, which would end in a brutal retirement-forcing stoppage for «Sugar» Shane. A comparison of their last fights; the aforementioned destruction of Cotto by Margarito and a last-gasp knockout by Mosley in a hard twelve-round struggle against Mayorga did not bode well for Mosley. Some predicted a massacre. And it was – only it was Margarito that was ruthlessly clubbed about the ring, unable to land any meaningful shots.
