Mike Tyson grew up poor and troubled and he wound up rich and famous. His mother died when he was 16 and he was taken in by his legendary trainer Cus D’Amato. Before Tyson was 13 years old, he had been arrested more than 30 times. He needed boxing and, as we later found out, boxing needed him.
Paul posted a video on his Instagram detailing his new face tattoo—the same one Tyson has (though it’s unclear if Paul’s tattoo is real)—before showing a man with a bite taken out of his ear. Paul then showed himself with a fake ear in his mouth.
Tyson once revealed that he spontaneously got the tattoo done and did it because it looked cool. Furthermore, Tyson revealed that he initially wanted to get hearts as a face tattoo but changed his mind at the last moment. As such, Tyson decided to instead get a tattoo that could represent his fierce spirit, and he chose this tattoo.
An endorsement is when brands capitalize on a boxer’s fame to sell products. On the other hand, merchandising is boxers capitalizing on their own fame to sell their own products. A good example is the George Foreman grill, which we mentioned earlier.
Another celebrated model and actress, Megan Fox, underwent laser removal to get rid of the Marilyn Monroe tattoo on her right forearm. Being one of the first faces she ever saw on-screen, Fox empathized with Monroe from a very young age. She got this tattoo as a tribute to her role model. Much later, in an Esquire interview, Fox became aware of the darker side of Monroe’s life. She found that Marilyn had had a very difficult life since childhood. She had moved in and out of many foster homes and had even suffered sexual abuse. Despite making it big in show business later in life, Marilyn suffered from drug addiction and depression. Megan Fox no longer wanted to be associated with such negative energy and made the decision of removing this tattoo.
“After Bakole’s win – I think it was a beautiful win against Anderson – he’s been calling out my name. He says he will knock me out in five rounds and then it turned to eight rounds … When they fight me they always look at my age and think he’s old I can take care of him, I can drag him to deeper waters, ever since the Hrgovic fight they’ve been saying the same thing, but as soon as they get in the ring with me things become different. I believe we talk through fists, not all the talking like that.”
Copper Box Arena, London – Chinese southpaw Zhilei Zhang (25-1-1, 20 KOs) earned the most important victory of his career with a stunning sixth-round TKO over undefeated hometown hero Joe Joyce (15-1, 14 KOs).
Why did Mike Tyson get a face tattoo? Tyson talked about his decision to get a tattoo, citing a desire to assert his individuality and express himself artistically. For Tyson, a tattoo represents a form of self-expression and empowerment.
The tattoo, which covers a significant portion of Tyson’s face, features a tribal design that wraps around his left eye and cheek. The intricate pattern incorporates various shapes and lines that create a sense of depth and dimension, giving the tattoo a unique and eye-catching appearance.
It’s also a big coup for Netflix, as live streaming a pay-per-view caliber event is sure to reshape how the streaming industry thinks about live sports on major platforms, though Amazon’s big moves acquiring sports streaming rights alongside the other big platforms shows they’re already on the ball. I think we’re really in for a historic event this summer and something that might really push the streaming world even further into sports.

It’s a bold statement that challenges societal norms and shows that he is unafraid to take risks and embrace his true self. Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no denying that Tyson’s face tattoo is a unique and unforgettable form of self-expression.
