I began to exact some revenge for the beatings I had taken from bullies. I’d be walking with some friends, and I might see one of the guys who beat me up and bullied me years earlier. He might have gone into a store shopping, and I would drag his ass out of the store and start pummeling him. I didn’t even tell my friends why, I’d just say, “I hate that motherfucker over there,” and they’d jump in too and rip his fucking clothes and beat his fucking ass. That guy who took my glasses and threw them away? I beat him in the streets like a fucking dog for humiliating me. He may have forgotten about it, but I never did.
98. “In life, when you miss the shot that can tie the game, before you put your head down, look at the scoreboard because I bet you still have time in the game. And in this game of life, anything can happen at any given second that can turn the tide in that game!” – David Goggins
Da es Tyson trotz seiner mit dem Boxen verdienten über 300 Millionen Dollar nicht gelang, sich für die Zeit nach seiner aktiven Laufbahn finanziell abzusichern, wurde eine erneute Rückkehr von vielen Beobachtern zunächst nicht ausgeschlossen. Ein Comeback von Tyson fand jedoch nicht statt.
Tekashi 6ix9ine, a rapper by profession, stands out with his rainbow hair and extensively tattooed skin. Tekashi 6ix9ine has had a troubled and controversial life. Apart from public feuds with fellow artists, Tekashi is also charged with several legal offenses including racketeering, drugs and weapons use, and involvement of a child in a sexual performance. In February 2019, he was charged with 9 offenses, including conspiracy to commit murder, for which he was up for possibly 47 years in jail. Takeshi decided to plead guilty and cooperate with the feds to oust the other Nine Trey gang members involved in the trial in exchange for a reduced prison term. Given the Covid-19 pandemic and his severe asthma, he was granted early release from jail. The remainder of his term was served in home confinement. Following his testimony, there were speculations that Tekashi will be brought under the witness protection program. To maintain a low profile, he may have to get rid of all his tattoos and colored hair. Tekashi has completed his home confinement. And while his safety is still a crucial issue, Tekashi has been fearlessly active on social media platforms, his tattoos nowhere gone.
Well, it is quite difficult to analyse a convert to Islam who previously bragged about his massive bank account, a bankrupt, convicted rapist who later said he’s voting Donald Trump, who in the meantime got two communist icons tattooed on his body.
While the tattoo now is almost two decades old, it remains a prime identity for Mike Tyson. Recently, Resorts World in Las Vegas inaugurated a 10 feet statue of Tyson, outside the Mulberry Street Pizzeria. The statue is of a young Mike Tyson in his 20s, when he didn’t have the tattoo. But it still imprinted the ink on the statues that we saw. This portrays the popularity of Tyson’s face tattoo and ‘Iron’ reflected it yet again on his social media.

On July 9, 1997, the Nevada State Athletic Commission revoked Tyson’s boxing license in a unanimous vote and fined the boxer $3 million for biting Holyfield. Several months later, Tyson was dealt another blow when he was ordered to pay boxer Mitch Green $45,000 for a 1988 street-fighting incident.
In “The Hangover Part II,” the sequel to the very successful what-happened-last-night comedy, the character played by Ed Helms wakes up with a permanent tattoo bracketing his left eye. The Maori-inspired design is instantly recognizable as the one sported by the boxer Mike Tyson, which is part of the joke. (Mr. Tyson makes an appearance in both films, playing himself.)
Also, for a long time, the body of Mike painted a portrait of his ex-wife – pediatrician Monica Turner. The world first saw this tattoo on Tyson’s left forearm in 1995, when the boxer got out of prison, where he had been for three years on rape charges.
Tyson trained heavily for a rematch with Holyfield, and on June 28, 1997, the two boxers faced off again. The fight was televised on pay-per-view and entered nearly 2 million households, setting a record at the time for the highest number of paid television viewers. Both boxers also received record purses for the match, making them the highest-paid professional boxers in history until 2007.
