Paul released the single “It’s Everyday Bro”, featuring Team 10, on May 30, 2017. It featured vocals from members of the team at the time, consisting of Nick Crompton, Chance Sutton, Ivan and Emilio Martinez and Tessa Brooks. It drew over 70 million views in one month and became YouTube’s third most disliked video. The song debuted and peaked at number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Its title refers to how Paul at the time posted a video every single day. In 2017, Paul released and later deleted singles including “Ohio Fried Chicken”, “Jerika”, “No Competition”, “That Ain’t on the News” and “Litmas”. The singles were deleted for various reasons, including his 2018 break-up with Erika Costell.
O.K. So how is it that Zhang, 40 years old and more than a decade into his pro career, is suddenly one of boxing’s best big men? For that you have to go to George, a fringe cruiserweight who retired in 2009. At the urging of his manager—Duva’s father, Lou—George decided to get into training. Lou invited George to a U.S.–China national team dual meet in New York and pointed out Zhang. “Watch this guy,” he told George. “He’s going to be heavyweight champ.”
The Olympic bronze medallist has faced issues locking down a willing dance partner in recent months and had been due to face Zhang on the Canelo Alvarez-Dmitry Bivol card in May before the fight was pushed back following the loss of Hrgovic’s father.
Everyone involved will surely make a lot of money and there’s little doubt this will be one of the most watched boxing matches ever. But no one really wants to see a nearly 60-year-old Mike Tyson get beaten up by Jake Paul. That just wouldn’t be a good look for anyone, Paul and Netflix included. Some will surely believe Tyson will whoop up on the younger YouTube kid. But Paul is big, strong, athletic and three decades Tyson’s junior. He’ll have the advantage in every physical way.
The bout was first scheduled for July 20 but was postponed after Tyson, who had a scare on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on May 26, box and needed to receive medical attention, was advised to rest and to not return to training for a few weeks.
2009 gewann er mit einem Finalsieg gegen Sardor Abdullajew die Asienmeisterschaft in Zhuhai und erkämpfte bei der Weltmeisterschaft in Mailand gegen Sardor Abdullajew, Erik Pfeifer und Primislav Dimovski, sowie einer Halbfinalniederlage gegen Roman Kapitonenko, erneut eine WM-Bronzemedaille. 2010 gewann er mit einem Finalsieg gegen Mihai Nistor die World Combat Games in Peking und mit einem Finalsieg gegen Iwan Dytschko auch die Asienspiele in Guangzhou.
Though he has a tough reputation, one of the most interesting Mike Tyson facts is that he has a soft spot for racing pigeons. As a boy in Brooklyn, he spent $100 of his own hard-earned money to buy a flock that he kept on his roof.
If this had been the ultra-aggressive Joe Joyce that Parker was fighting, he likely would have folded as he did in their fight in 2022, but Zhang showed poor stamina from the get-go and rarely threw anything.
Estaba previsto que Zhang peleara contra Filip Hrgović en una eliminatoria por el título de la FIB el 7 de mayo de 2022. Sin embargo, Hrgović se retiró de la pelea el 2 de mayo, afirmando que no había podido concentrarse durante su campo de entrenamiento debido a la muerte de su padre. Scott Alexander fue elegido como pelea de reemplazo en la cartelera principal de Canelo Álvarez vs. Dmitry Bivol, y la pelea pasó de ser la coestelar a la cartelera secundaria. Zhang ganó la pelea por nocaut en el primer asalto. Su pelea contra Hrgović fue reprogramada para el 20 de agosto de 2022, en Jeddah, Arabia Saudita, en la cartelera de Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua II. Esa noche, Zhang derribó a Hrgović en el primer asalto con un derechazo. Después de una reñida batalla de doce asaltos, los jueces otorgaron la pelea a Hrgović con puntuaciones de 115-112 dos veces y 114-113, en lo que la emisora Sky Sports describió como una decisión “generosa” después de una actuación “extraña” de Hrgović.
The Mike Tyson tattoo has inspired countless fans to create their own tattoos, honoring their idol and the impact he has had on their lives. Tyson’s influence extends far beyond the ring, from boxing fans to tattoo aficionados.
Zhang has a rematch clause, so he can force a second fight with Parker. What’s clear is Zhang needs to lose weight to get back down to where he was for his two wins over Joe Joyce. That version of Zhang would have been lethal tonight, as he was devasting in those two fights against Joyce.
The more George watched, the more he liked. Zhang had size, sure. But he also had speed. Athleticism. Slashing power. After the meet, the Chinese coaches invited George to a camp in the Poconos. “They liked my philosophies,” says George. With the 2010 Asian Games around the corner, the coaches asked George to come to Beijing to work with their top prospects.
