OH! Wilder does! He comes to life and starts throwing and Zhang is not prepared! He reacts poorly and covers up until a clinch. Not much landed, but the sheer effort surprised Zhang. Zhang gets back into it though and lands a left hook. And Wilder starts to retreat again.
Hrgović’s defeat ended Zhilei’s 24-fight win streak. He is yet to make his total title win or any related achievements, mostly due to his late start in professional boxing. Nevertheless, Zhilei is renowned for some of his best fights and notable victories that include wins over Peter Graham, Devin Vargas, Scott Alexander, Andriy Rudenko, Craig Lewis, Don Haynesworth, and Mark Brown.
“I like this fight a lot, two giant heavyweights in a situation where a loss could be the end any hopes of getting to the top of the division. I think Wilder has to be in desperation mode here. He’s only won a single bout since 2019 and he’ll be 39-years-old in just a couple of months. He has had an incredible career, but I don’t like what I saw in his last bout with Joseph Parker. The legs just were not present and neither was any killer instinct on Deontay’s part. Although Zhang lost his previous bout as well, also to Joseph Parker, I think even at 41-years of age he has a lot of fight left in him. I think he overwhelms the Bronze Bomber en route to a stoppage win halfway through the bout.”
“I’m the best ever. I’m the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He’s no Alexander! I’m Alexander! I’m the best ever. I’m Sonny Liston. I’m Jack Dempsey. There’s never been anyone like me. I’m from their cloth.”
While the outcome of the case was not precedential, Perry’s comments were the first time that a government official commented on the copyrightability of tattoos. They were also significant in drawing a distinction between the tattoo’s design and application. Despite the case settling, it prompted further discussion of the topic and speculation as to how the case might have proceeded if it had gone to trial.

With the win Hrgovic extended his unbeaten record to 15-0 (12 KOs) as one of the self-proclaimed ‘most avoided’ heavyweights in the division, while the result marked the first defeat of 39-year-old Zhang’s career.
The reasons behind this tattoo remain largely personal and speculative. Mao is a complex historical figure, and Tyson’s choice to have his likeness permanently etched on his body has sparked discussion and curiosity.
It doesn’t matter if you’re aiming to lose weight, land that dream job, find true love, or build a fortune, determination will be needed. So, to help inspire the successful attainment of your big goals and inspiring dreams, we’re publishing this collection of inspirational determination quotes.
In time, another communist appeared on Tyson’s body – Argentine revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara, a personality as dubious as he was famous. The bloody Latin American politician, who fanatically imposes the order known to him alone in one country or another, fits perfectly with the boxer’s turbulent biography, where aggression often went beyond the ring.
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.
In 2003, as TalkSport reminds us, Tyson stepped into the ring with his freshly inscribed ink and knocked out Clifford Etienne in 49 seconds. This would be Tyson’s last career victory, a mere week after getting his first tattoo. His trainer, Jeff Fenech, who’d been training Tyson for eight weeks leading up to the fight, called shenanigans. He said that Iron Mike was sabotaging the fight, essentially, because it “wasn’t healthy” to have a boxing match where Tyson’s face would get punched days after getting a tattoo on it. Fenech also thought Tyson got the tattoo because he didn’t want the fight in the first place. A week before the bout, Fenech walked, and Tyson went on to win in the first round. Two years later in 2005, Tyson retired after back-to-back losses.
