The timing and choice of the tattoo sparked widespread speculation. His coach, Jeff Fenech, suggested to Fox Sports, the tattoo was more than aesthetics, hinting at Tyson’s reluctance to fight: “I thought we are fighting in a week, and when you get a tattoo, you can’t fight because they snap up and it wouldn’t be healthy to do that. We sat down and spoke, and he didn’t really want to fight and he wasn’t prepared to, and that was one of the reasons he got the tattoo.” The fight was even cancelled once, as his coaching team thought that his lack of conditioning could lead to him losing the fight. Yet, Tyson defied doubts, ended up fighting Clifford, decisively ending the bout with Etienne in a mere 49 seconds, showcasing his undiminished prowess.

Through a tip from Doug (who left the campfire earlier and stayed at the resort), they go to a police station to pick up Teddy, but are given a wheelchair containing an elderly Buddhist monk. He cannot reveal anything, having taken a vow of silence. After finding a business card, they travel to the smoldering ruins of a business, located in a ruined street, apparently destroyed in a riot the night before.
Everyone knows Mike Tyson really cherishes his face tattoo, right? But guess what? The guy who actually inked it, S. Victor Whitmill, seems to love it even more. He even went ahead and sued Warner Bros. over them using it without his permission! Crazy, huh?
Whenever you make a movie, people are hired to specifically clear all copyrighted images that appear – be it on clothing, posters, store fronts, etc. So it was most likely someone’s responsibility to clear that tattoo, they just probably had no idea you could trademark a tattoo.
“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.” Tyson said in an interview with Graham Bensinger. “Victor Perez, the tattoo artist, said, ‘I ain’t doing that. I can’t do that.”
Tyson knows that people are describing his decision to take the fight as the aging boxer’s version of a midlife crisis. He gets sensitive when reporters ask if he’s still got it, or when skeptics suggest the bout is a gimmick event that isn’t real. He simmers down a little when he reminds himself that most of those who question him have never stepped into the ring themselves. Still, his inability to say no to a fight—a mindset D’Amato instilled in him that has stayed with the kid from Brooklyn—has even surprised Kiki, he admits.
“The very copyrightability of tattoos is a novel issue,” says the Warner Bros. brief. “There is no legal precedent for Plaintiff’s radical claim that he is entitled, under the Copyright Act, to control the use of a tattoo that he created on the face of another human being.”
With the anticipation towards the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight going through the roof, the internet sensation issued a new threat to Iron Mike. These two fighters are slated to lock horns on July 20, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Both competitors have been making the rounds of the internet with their training videos for the fight and now, The Problem Child has brought back old memories for the 57-year-old boxing legend.
When Tyson gets back in the ring to train with Cordeiro, who’s covered up to his neck in pads, what follows is a blizzard of left-right-left-right—over and over again. The power of Tyson’s punches reverberates throughout the warehouse. In the moment, whether he can still punch with bad intentions after all these years doesn’t feel like the right question. It’s more like, Did you hear that? The sound of silence has been replaced by the sound of violence.
The symbolism of the Mike Tyson Mao tattoo is deeply personal and connected to his personality and experiences. While the exact meaning may vary, the tattoo is often interpreted as a symbol of strength, resilience and tribal heritage.
i’ve just found the original photo of Mike Tyson from the Jake Paul poster, it was taken 19 years ago and they photoshopped a recent tattoo on it to make it look like a recent picturewe are dealing with levels of shamelessness that we have never seen before pic.twitter.com/k26NoBCK4x
The Missouri-based artist, S. Victor Whitmill, created and copyrighted the design called “Tribal Tattoo” back see in bing.com 2003 when he applied it to the left side of the boxer’s face. At the time, Tyson signed a release waiving all rights to the design and holding Whitmill as the “sole creator, author, and owner of all rights, including copyright, in the Original Tattoo, which is original and fixed in a tangible medium of expression.” Well, it is a permanent inking, so we suppose “fixed” is right.
