Tyson eligió tatuajes de Mao y el revolucionario marxista Che Guevara para reflejar su ira contra la sociedad y el gobierno mientras estaba en prisión. El tatuaje de Guevara, ubicado en el lado izquierdo del abdomen de Tyson, se deriva de la icónica fotografía Guerrillero Heroico de Alberto Korda. En Tyson, Tyson se jacta de que el tatuaje es anterior a la mercantilización generalizada de la imagen de Guevara. Tyson mantuvo opiniones positivas de ambos revolucionarios después de salir de prisión: en 1999 describió a Guevara como «Alguien que tenía tanto pero lo sacrificó todo en beneficio de otras personas». En 2006 visitó el Mausoleo de Mao Zedong y dijo que «se sentía realmente insignificante» en presencia del cuerpo de Mao.

However, his career was marred by scandals, including imprisonment and rape accusations, which took a significant toll on his public persona. Despite these difficulties, Tyson managed to rebuild his reputation, becoming a successful businessman, actor, and popular media figure. His charisma, outspokenness and transformational ability continue to inspire fans around the world, making him a truly iconic figure.

In the video, Paul appears to get a tattoo that looks identical to the one that Tyson got on his face years ago, and he looks in the camera to state, "You heard it right, motherf***er. I’m fighting Mike Tyson, b****!"

"So I'm just like, F*ck it, like, why not just do it because Tyson did mike tyson remove his facial tattoo it? It's a story behind Tyson's face tat is, it was like Wednesday of his fight week, and he just got it, and he showed up to the presser the next day with the face tat and he didn't tell anybody. So I'm thinking about doing that in honor."

Ever since the first fights involving YouTube stars KSI and Joe Weller back in 2017, people from all walks of life – from TikTok to music – have slipped on the gloves and stepped into the ring, with the exhibition demographic of the sport growing rapidly.

Rapper Lil Pump joined Jake Paul, his girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam, and Kill Jasper in the studio of ‘BS w/Jake Paul’. Over the course of the conversation, Jake Paul revealed that he planned on getting a face tattoo in the week leading to the Mike Tyson fight. Leerdam, the Dutch world speed skating champion, sounded a bit apprehensive over the idea. "Well, I don’t think that’s a great idea," she said. Lil Pump had other doubts. He asked whether ‘The Problem Child’ hadn’t planned on getting the ones ‘Iron’ Mike donned.

"A week later he fought and knocked out Clifford in one round and I was upset. I was happy for Mike that he won, but I was also upset that I had trained him for eight weeks and I wasn’t part of that win."

In interviews, Tyson has described the tattoo as a "warrior mark" that signifies his readiness to face any challenge that comes his way. He sees it as a tribute to his own strength and determination, as well as a reflection of his deep respect for the warrior tradition that he feels a part of.

Warner Bros. asserted about 16 defenses. They acknowledged that the tattoos were similar but denied that theirs was a copy. They further argued that "tattoos on the skin are not copyrightable". They reasoned that a human body is a useful article under 17 U.S.C. § 101 and thus not copyrightable. The question of a tattoo's copyrightability had never been determined by the Supreme Court of the United States. Arguments in the alternative included that Tyson, by allowing them to use his likeness and not objecting to the plot device in The Hangover Part II, had given them an implied license, and that their use of the tattoo constituted fair use as parody because it juxtaposed Tyson as "the epitome of male aggression" with the "milquetoast" Price. Scholar David Nimmer, participating an expert witness for Warner Bros., argued that treating tattoos as copyrightable would violate the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution as a badge of slavery; Nimmer's declaration was then excluded because it was a legal opinion.

Mike Tyson, one of the most famous and controversial boxers of all time, has left an indelible mark on the history of the sport. He began his career in 1985 and soon became the youngest ever world heavyweight champion, defeating Trevor Berbick in 1986 at the age of 20. Tyson was known for his powerful punching, aggressive style and swift knockouts that made him a crowd favorite.

- Não só esta será a maior luta da minha vida, como acho que isto tem a oportunidade de mudar a história do boxe e ser uma das maiores lutas do século XXI. É um grande desafio! Todo mundo me disse, "Não entre no ringue com o Mike! Ele bate muito duro!" Esse homem é uma fera! Mas não vou dar mole. Em 20 de julho, espero me tornar o vencedor, criar história e nocautear o lendário "Iron" Mike Tyson - afirmou Paul.

The pair are set to face off on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with many people criticizing Paul for fighting someone almost 30 years older than him who has been retired for a long time.
