The wrinkle in the “Hangover” lawsuit is that Mr. Whitmill has taken pains to leave Mr. Tyson out of it. “This case is not about Mike Tyson, Mike Tyson’s likeness, or Mike Tyson’s right to use or control his identity,” the complaint says. “This case is about Warner Bros. appropriation of Mr. Whitmill’s art and Warner Bros. unauthorized use of that art, separate and apart from Mr. Tyson.”
Tyson’s facial “tribal tattoo” generally follows the Maori rules laid out for facial “moko” or tattoos. Tyson’s tattoo follows the contours of his face, enhancing the contours of his face and tracing the natural “geography”, for example lines along the brow ridge; the major design motifs are symetrically placed within opposed design fields: lines are used in certain areas where spirals are not used; two types of spiral are used — the koru, which is not rolled up and has a “clubbed” end, and the rolled spiral. (Ta Moko: The Art of Maori Tattoo, By D.R.Simmons) Tyson’s tattoo appears to be based around a pair of puhoro koru.
You have to feel comfortable being uncomfortable. I’m always comfortable being uncomfortable. And to be comfortable being uncomfortable, I have to hone my discipline, which to me is doing what I have to do, but also doing it like I love it.
It is often considered that fighting is physical activity, an activity of the body. But Mike shares a totally different perspective. He recognizes his sport as something spiritual. And winning this sport is not about power, technique or strength, but it is more of a determination and willpower thing.
For the last 100 years or so, boxers have been divided into weight divisions. This provides safety and ensures even fights. Because the power of a punch is derived from a boxer’s weight and muscle mass, a match between a 200-lb. man and a 140-lb. man would be lopsided and could result in serious injury. The weight divisions are mostly uniform worldwide, although some sanctioning bodies recognize intermediate divisions (ones that fall in between other divisions). These are the weight divisions currently recognized by the World Boxing Association (WBA) and the World Boxing Council (WBC). Note that the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and the World Boxing Organization (WBO) refer to the “super” divisions as “junior” divisions of the weight class below. For example, Super Bantamweight is called Jr. Featherweight by the IBF. The weight noted is the upper limit for that division.
The popularity of boxing has waxed and waned throughout its long history. It has always been strong in England, where the modern sport was founded, and in the United States, where its popularity peaked in the 1930s. The latter half of the 20th century saw the attempted formation of a worldwide boxing organization. However, so many competing groups sprang up that no single one ever took primacy. Even as of 2007 there is still a confusing patchwork of competing boxing organizations. Also in the 20th century, the center of boxing in the United States shifted from its traditional home in New York City, where multiple fights were once held each week at Madison Square Garden, to Las Vegas, where legal sports betting added a lucrative side business. That infusion of money lead to the era of multi-million dollar fight purses and pay-per-view TV.

“He admitted at some point, he said to Desiree Washington, ‘I want to f— you,’” Shaw said. “I looked over at the jury… If you want to see anger on the front of people’s faces the moment after something is said, it was there. Five words changed everything.”
The biggest part of this story isn’t Paul or Tyson. It’s that Netflix is streaming this fight live internationally without an added paywall. Paul vs. Tyson will be the third sporting event Netflix has hosted and streamed. There is surely more to come, and not just with Netflix’s big rights deal with WWE for the Raw television show in the United States and the wrestling promotion’s full slate of offerings being available on the streaming giant worldwide.
“When I came in,” Britton says, “Mike was in a very dark place. There was a darkness around him.… And Mike has literally turned from the ferocious warrior up on the mountaintop, living in isolation, to this spiritually awakened shaman/cannabis-entrepreneur warrior of the light.
