In 2019, the Lanes re-entereded the picture, this time as advisers. Roc Nation announced it was exiting boxing. The Lanes negotiated Zhang’s release with Matchroom Boxing, which Duva had cut a deal with, becoming his lead promoter. For all the work George and his team of nutritionists did, maintaining a regimen during the pandemic was not easy. In March ’21, Zhang faced Forrest. He knocked Forrest down three times in the first three rounds. In the second half of the fight, he ran out of gas, ultimately settling for a draw. Zhang says in the week leading up to the fight he drank only one bottle of water. Afterward he was hospitalized for kidney failure, liver damage and anemia.
Round 7: Big shots scoring for Dubois. A big right and then a sharp left hook on the inside. Hrgovic not exhibiting good body language. Excellent attack from Dubois again. HUGE RIGHT FROM DUBOIS and Hrgovic looks to be in serious trouble. ANOTHER RIGHT HAND BOMB! And another one. This fight looks like it could be over in the next round.

Tyson’s mother died when he was 16, leaving him in the care of D’Amato, who would become his legal guardian. Tyson later said, “I never saw my mother happy with me and proud of me for doing something: she only knew me as being a wild kid running the streets, coming home with new clothes that she knew I didn’t pay for. I never got a chance to talk to her or know about her. Professionally, it has no effect, but it’s crushing emotionally and personally.”
In an interview with USA Today published on June 3, 2005, Tyson said, “My whole life has been a waste – I’ve been a failure.” He continued: “I just want to escape. I’m really embarrassed with myself and my life. I want to be a missionary. I think I could do that while keeping my dignity without letting people know they chased me out of the country. I want to get this part of my life over as soon as possible. In this country nothing good is going to come of me. People put me so high; I wanted to tear that image down.” Tyson began to spend much of his time tending to his 350 pigeons in Paradise Valley, an upscale enclave near Phoenix, Arizona.
Mr. Tyson gives us earnest efforts to make sense of the crazy extremes of his life; angry, pull-no-punches portraits of people he feels victimized by (like the boxing promoter Don King, whom he describes as “a wretched, slimy reptilian” guy who “contaminated my whole barometer”) and colorful descriptions of the “bling-bling” life he led at the height of his fame, including a Las Vegas mansion furnished in everything Versace and with a pool “ringed with seven-foot statues of fierce warriors like Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Genghis Khan and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the Haitian revolutionary.”

Round 4: A lead left hook shows Mayer is starting to time Wildheart’s advances nicely. The late replacement responds with a left of her one, though. She’s certainly not overawed by the step up in class. Mayer scores well to the body, although she ships a few hooks carelessly – left, right, left. That’s good work and probably gets Wildheart the round.
Tyson’s face tattoo quickly proved iconic and has become strongly associated with him. Its Māori influence has been controversial, spurring claims of cultural appropriation. In 2011, Whitmill filed a copyright suit against Warner Bros. for using the design on the character Stu Price in The Hangover Part II. Warner Bros. responded with a number of defenses, including that tattoos are not copyrightable; supporting them, scholar David Nimmer argued that it violated the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution—which prohibits slavery—to give Whitmill copyright over part of Tyson’s body. After initial comments by Judge Catherine D. Perry denying an injunction but affirming that tattoos are copyrightable, Whitmill and Warner Bros. settled for undisclosed terms, without disruption to the release of the film.
