Before 2014, Zhang was a typical product of the Chinese state-centric sports development policy known as juguo tizhi (举国体制), with all his training schedule, coaching, insurance, housing, and meals arranged and paid for by the Henan Provincial Combat and Weightlifting Center. Hence, few Chinese boxers turn pro. The Henan Provincial Department of Sports secured public institution positions for athletes like Zhang should they retire in China.
And as I see people’s comments, here and on my duplicate Facebook post, one of the things that occurs to me is that I see bodyart (tattoo or the painted version) as a collaboration between the doer and the wearer, along the lines of Aaron’s comment that the design on paper becomes another design when it is on someone.
I have a really important question that has never been addressed for me. It is a question that is making me reconsider whether I should continue being a boxer or not because I am at a very big predicament and feel almost helpless and seemingly running out of ideas to solve this problem

In 1992, Tyson was convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison. He was released on parole after three years. After his release in 1995, he engaged in a series of comeback fights, regaining the WBA and WBC titles in 1996 to join Floyd Patterson, Muhammad Ali, Tim Witherspoon, Evander Holyfield and George Foreman as the only men in boxing history to have regained a heavyweight championship after losing it. After being stripped of the WBC title in the same year, Tyson lost the WBA title to Evander Holyfield by an eleventh round stoppage. Their 1997 rematch ended when Tyson was disqualified for biting Holyfield’s ears, one bite notoriously being strong enough to remove a portion of his right ear. In 2002, Tyson fought for the world heavyweight title, losing by knockout to Lennox Lewis.
Hey Johnny, Myself being a 17 year old 6 foot 9 boxer i would really like to master this style. I am mainly looking at Vitali Klitschko and Thomas Hearns to model, but I am wondering about Vitali’s brother Wlad and whether he uses the same thing. I know both of them are outside fighters, but wlad seems to be the more defensive of the two and it seems to me that he uses this exact tactic as well.
In 1989, Tyson had only two fights amid personal turmoil. He faced the British boxer Frank Bruno in February. Bruno managed to stun Tyson at the end of the first round, although Tyson went on to knock Bruno out in the fifth round. Tyson then knocked out Carl “The Truth” Williams in the first round in July.
Despite its popularity, the Mike Tyson tattoo has also been the subject of legal disputes and controversies. One prominent example is the lawsuit filed by tattoo artist Victor Whitmill over the use of the design in the movie The Hangover Part II.
On his right forearm, Tyson has a dragon tattoo which is easily the most impressive of all his artwork. This is the one tattoo there is little information on, with nobody being sure of the tattoo artist or the actual meaning behind the tattoo. Tyson himself hasn’t discussed the ink but as The Sun detailed, “In Chinese culture, the dragon represents strength, wisdom, and freedom,” so it wouldn’t be a stretch to think Tyson knows this and wanted the tattoo to represent these things. Or maybe he just really likes dragons? We will never know until he comments on the artw
However, over time, Tyson has explained that the tattoo is not meant to be a direct copy of traditional Maori moko but rather a personal interpretation of the design. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Tyson stated that the tattoo is meant to represent his own struggles and battles in life, as well as his inner strength and warrior spi
“I have good skills, I just believe in my skills. 28 years I’m in boxing, I’m in boxing since I remember myself. I love the sport. I think it could help me, my experience, my mentality and my skills… I just believe that I will be undisputed.”
