“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.”
Monica Turner became one of the few who did not turn away from Mike then. After all the years of imprisonment, the girl visited Mike in prison, and after his release, the couple married, but their marriage did not last long – only six years. After the divorce, he disappeared and tattooed a portrait of his wife, over which the boxer put a new drawing.

He made his comeback in 1995 and by 1996, had already earned back his WBA and WBC titles.

Tyson later returned in 1999 and continued his boxing career until retiring in 2005.
The tattooing process itself was a serious undertaking, with Tyson enduring hours of pain to complete the intricate design. Despite the discomfort, Tyson remained determined to see the tattoo through to completion.
But Tyson doesn’t stop there. He’s taken the entertainment game to the airwaves with his mystery thriller podcast, Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson. site here, he steps into the shoes of a storyteller and a conversationalist, drawing listeners into deep discussions and enthralling tales.

Tyson made his professional debut as an 18-year-old on March 6, 1985, in Albany, New York. He defeated Hector Mercedes via first-round TKO. He had 15 bouts in his first year as a professional. Fighting frequently, Tyson won 26 of his first 28 fights by KO or TKO; 16 of those came in the first round. The quality of his opponents gradually increased to journeyman fighters and borderline contenders, like James Tillis, David Jaco, Jesse Ferguson, Mitch Green, and Marvis Frazier. His win streak attracted media attention and Tyson was billed as the next great heavyweight champion. D’Amato died in November 1985, relatively early into Tyson’s professional career, and some speculate that his death was the catalyst to many of the troubles Tyson was to experience as his life and career progressed.
“They said I looked like some tribesman or s***. I ran into some chicks that happened to be from the Maowi tribe and they said ‘hey, you’ve got some of my tribe on your face’ and the lady pulled her pants down and she has this tattoo on her butt.”
Also, for a long time, the body of Mike painted a portrait of his ex-wife – pediatrician Monica Turner. The world first saw this tattoo on Tyson’s left forearm in 1995, when the boxer got out of prison, where he had been for three years on rape charges.
In a 2012 interview on In Depth with Graham Bensinger, Tyson explained that he originally wanted to tattoo his face with hearts. “I just thought it was a cool tattoo,” he said. “I was going to get a bunch of hearts and stuff… I was going to be the man of hearts, baby.”
Born on June 30, 1966, Michael Gerard Tyson didn’t initially seem like the kind of boy who would grow up to be a fearsome and powerful fighter. According to ESPN, Tyson described himself as “a little fat kid with glasses” who was frequently hounded by bullies.

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. All opposition was ruthlessly suppressed. The Chinese initially received significant help from the Soviet Union, but relations soon began to cool.
Many have wondered about the meaning behind Tyson’s face tattoo, and while there have been various interpretations over the years, the true significance lies in the deeply personal story it represents. Every stroke of ink on his face tells a tale of triumph, struggle, and ultimately, reinvention.
Tyson’s success in the ring didn’t stop there. He defended his title against James Smith on March 7, 1987, adding the World Boxing Association championship to his list of victories. On August 1, he became the first heavyweight to own all three major boxing belts when he seized the International Boxing Federation title from Tony Tucker.
