Of course tattoos can be copyrighted. I don’t think there is any reasonable dispute about that. They are not copyrighting Mr. Tyson’s face, or restricting Mr. Tyson’s use of his own face, as the defendant argues, or saying that someone who has a tattoo can’t remove the tattoo or change it, but the tattoo itself and the design itself can be copyrighted, and I think it’s entirely consistent with the copyright law.
Tyson bokste op explosieve wijze: waar andere boksers box in yahoo.com de eerste ronde hun tegenstander aftastten, ging Tyson er meteen vol tegenaan. Door zijn snelle vuisten met grote kracht haalden veel boksers het einde van de eerste ronde niet: zij die dat wel deden kregen het in ronde twee en drie zo zwaar te verduren dat ze opgaven of alsnog KO gingen.
Mao and other Communist leaders set out to reshape Chinese society. Industry came under state ownership and China’s farmers began to be organised into collectives.

On the 20th of July, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, 57-year-old Tyson will enter the ring four years after his last engagement in the ring. He fights the much younger, 27-year-old, Jake Paul. A fight that stars a retired, senior fighter like Tyson would generally assume an exhibition-esque nature. However, the organizers of the fight have some ambitions regarding the bout.
Well, many things could go south and escalate quickly when Jake Paul and Mike Tyson walk into the squared circle on July 20. But we will stick to the three possibilities. Ever since the news broke of the two exchanging punches in the AT&T Arena, the boxing world has been aghast. But isn’t it a high-voltage fight? Aren’t boxing fans keen to live the nostalgic feeling of watching ‘Iron Mike’ throw a thunderous punch and terrifying violence? Sadly, it’s neither.
Mike Tyson’s face tattoo has become an iconic symbol of his identity and his connection to Maori culture. The tattoo represents his warrior spirit and his personal journey, and it has become a work of art in its own right. Tyson’s tattoo is a reminder that art has the power to inspire and connect people to their culture and identity.
Tyson got his face tattoo from artist S. Victor Whitmill of Las Vegas, Nevada, shortly before Tyson’s 2003 fight with Clifford Etienne (which would be his 50th and last victory), having previously suggested that he would get a face tattoo if he won Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson. Tyson had originally wanted hearts (which he “just thought … were cool” ), but, according to Tyson, Whitmill refused and worked for a few days on a new design. Whitmill proposed a tribal design inspired by tā moko, a Māori tattoo style. The design is not based on any specific moko and was created directly on Tyson’s face. Tyson saw the tattoo as representing the Māori, whom he described as a “warrior tribe”, and approved of the design, which consists of monochrome spiral shapes above and below his left eye. According to Tyson, it was his idea to use two curved figures rather than one.
Paul has often expressed his respect for Tyson, citing him as one of his boxing idols. By getting a face tattoo similar to Tyson’s, Paul aims to honor the former heavyweight champion and further solidify his own identity as a serious contender in the boxing arena.
Mike Tyson is known for his straightforward, often profound quotes that reflect his experiences and philosophy. Including a Tyson quote, such as “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth,” can add a narrative and philosophical depth to your tattoo. It’s also a way to make a statement that resonates with your own life views or experiences, using Tyson’s words as a mantra or a reminder of resilience and the readiness to face challenges.
Tyson retired from professional boxing in 2005 due to a combination of physical decline, mental and emotional challenges, and financial troubles. After a series of losses that highlighted his decreasing ability to compete at a top level, Tyson acknowledged that he no longer had the heart to fight. His physical capabilities had diminished with age, and he struggled with motivation and focus, which were compounded by significant financial difficulties. These factors led him to conclude his boxing career after a defeat to Kevin McBride.
Tyson himself has mentioned that part of the tattoo’s significance is spiritual, suggesting that it serves as a kind of protection for him. In many cultures, tattoos are believed to have protective powers, and for Tyson, this could be a form of spiritual armor, guarding him against both physical and metaphysical adversaries as he navigated through the complex landscape of his life.
Though the Lewis match clearly showed Tyson to be past his prime, his reputation and ability to draw fans continue to draw fight promoters looking to cash in on the spectacle of a Tyson match. Late in 2003, speculation swirled that he might fight champion Roy Jones, perhaps in Eastern Europe or Russia. The bigger fight facing Tyson seemed to be in the courtroom, where he tried to fend off his many creditors. Despite earning approximately $20 million from the Lewis fight, Tyson filed for bankruptcy in 2003.
