is famous for playing a guy who gets a face tattoo like mike tysonis jake paul tyson tattoo real
In light of this, perhaps the speculation that it’s for the money isn’t so wrong after all. ‘Iron’ Mike has already left a rich legacy behind him in the sport. He’s had a storied career. Fighting Jake Paul would surely mean big things at this age, but is it worth it? From the looks of it, Tyson is preparing like it means the whole wide world.
This is an interesting fight to pick – given the age gap, and what both opponents have done over their careers. A clear winner can be determined by knockout, however. Given Paul's age and how active he's been recently in boxing (10 fights since 2020), it's easy to see why oddsmakers lean towards The Problem Child. Tyson is a +310 underdog, according to FanDuel.
Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) battled Jones Jr. in an exhibition in November 2020, but he hasn’t taken part in a sanctioned professional boxing match since he was stopped by Kevin McBride in 2005, almost 20 years ago.
Paul’s face tattoo, however, is fake since they did not show the tattoo being done properly, which means this was just for promoting the fight. Furthermore, Paul blatantly imitating Tyson is his way of paying homage to the legend, but several fans did not enjoy it.
Julia Rose recently took to her Instagram to share a video in which she engaged in a bet with her father. Regrettably, luck was not on her side, and according to the bet’s rules, the defeated party had to wear a temporary face tattoo of the winner’s choosing. In this case, Julia found herself having to don a temporary face tattoo inspired by none other than Mike Tyson.
Paul has since defeated Andre August and Ryan Bourland, two much lesser-known boxers who both went down in the first round. Tyson figures to be a very, very different challenge. That is, assuming the fight actually happens.
Tyson once revealed that he spontaneously got the tattoo done and did it because it looked cool. Furthermore, Tyson revealed that he initially wanted to get hearts as a face tattoo but changed his mind at the last moment. As such, Tyson decided to instead get a tattoo that could represent his fierce spirit, and he chose this tattoo.
The 57-year-old boxing legend confirmed Tuesday in a Fox News interview that his bout with the YouTuber-turned-boxer will be an exhibition match — but without the restrictions you often see in an exhibition match. He also promised that Paul is mistaken if he believes he can hurt him:
The most puzzling pre-fight antics have come courtesy of Jake Paul, which we kind of expect from the guy who illegally touts cryptocurrencies and once got married purely for social media engagement. This time, his stunts are focused squarely on his imminent opponent, with Paul recently revealing a facial tattoo identical to Tyson’s.
The timing and choice of the tattoo sparked widespread speculation. His coach, Jeff Fenech, suggested to Fox Sports, the tattoo was more than aesthetics, hinting at Tyson’s reluctance to fight: “I thought we are fighting in a week, and when you get a tattoo, you can’t fight because they snap up and it wouldn’t be healthy to do that. We sat down and spoke, and he didn’t really want to fight and he wasn’t prepared to, and that was one of the reasons he got the tattoo.” The fight was even cancelled once, as his coaching team thought that his lack of conditioning could lead to him losing the fight. Yet, Tyson defied doubts, ended up fighting Clifford, decisively ending the bout with Etienne in a mere 49 seconds, showcasing his undiminished prowess.
