On 7 December 2019, on the undercard of Ruiz Jr. vs. Joshua II, Hrgović, then ranked #9 by the WBA and IBF, and #11 by the WBC, had what is perhaps his most notable win to date, a third-round knockout against Éric Molina. He dominated the fight from the first bell, dropping Molina twice; once in the first round and again in the second, before finally closing out with a third knockdown in the third round, from which Molina wasn’t able to get up. Hrgović was expected to next face Ondřej Pála in the co-main event of the Dina Thorslund vs Nina Radovanovic title fight, held on September 26, 2020, at the Struer Energi Park in Struer, Denmark. Three days before the fight, Pála withdrew for an undisclosed reason, and was replaced on short notice by Alexandre Kartozia. Hrgović justified his role as the betting favorite, pressuring Kartozia throughout the fight, and knocking him out with a left-right combination at the 1:07 minute mark.
Mike Tyson had his second marriage with a pediatrician Monica Turner on April 19, 1997. They had two children, Amir and Ramsey. However, the marriage failed once again, and the couple separated on January 14, 2003.
Even though I’d covered most of his significant bouts at that point, it’s still not every day that Mike Tyson calls you at home so I was suspicious. Tyson’s voice was frequently imitated, and comedians used to make fun of his lisp and the higher pitch to his voice than his size suggested.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer has a big fight lined up for July 20, where he will face the youngest heavyweight champion in history, now long-retired 57-year-old Mike Tyson, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Ever since its announcement, the fight has been attracting considerable attention. Not a day passes by without the teams releasing training clips, snapshots, and footage from varied talk shows and podcasts to keep the followers engaged. In one such podcast, Paul was seen talking about why he was considering getting a face tattoo.
Zhang could not access high-profile matches to make himself known under Roc Nation until they parted ways in 2019. Zhang won 19 back-to-back low-profile fights under the Roc Nation banner. Zhang wanted better-known, tougher opponents with bigger payouts, but Dino Duva didn’t do it. Zhang was particularly upset once when his promoter organized a match at a high school basketball court with a portable dressing room which spectators could see into. Zhang felt he was not taken seriously by his promoter. He was paid around $7,000 for his pro debut, and some of his earlier pro fights were paid $2000 and $5000. When Shawn George became Zhang’s head coach in 2017, George was upset by how the promoters saw Zhang as a novelty act along the lines of Nikolai Valuev. Dynasty Boxing’s minority owners, brothers Tommy and Terry Lane, believed Zhang would become “the Yao Ming of super light division boxing” and clashed with Duva over his lackluster promotion of Zhang.
Matters came to a head when Tyson and Givens gave a joint interview with Barbara Walters on the ABC TV newsmagazine show 20/20 in September 1988, in which Givens described life with Tyson as “torture, pure hell, worse than anything I could possibly imagine.” Givens also described Tyson as “manic depressive” – which was later confirmed by doctors – on national television while Tyson looked on with an intent and calm expression. A month later, Givens announced that she was seeking a divorce from the allegedly abusive Tyson, with the two officially separating on February 14, 1989.
Mike Tyson debuterade som proffs 6 mars 1985 genom att i Plaza Convention Center, Albany, New York, slå ut Hector Mercedes i första ronden. Under det kommande året radade han upp inte mindre än 19 KO-segrar på lika många matcher – 12 av dessa tog slut redan i den första ronden. Den förste som gick tiden ut mot Tyson var erfarne James Tillis, som dock förlorade på poäng över 10 ronder. Tysons bana såg nu spikrak ut och frågan var, enligt massmedia, inte om “Iron Mike” – som den unge boxaren kom att kallas – skulle bli världsmästare, utan när.
Många trodde nu att Tyson var slut då man anade att sex år skulle vara för lång tid av frånvaro från ringen för att någonsin skulle kunna komma tillbaka. Men efter att ha avtjänat halva tiden, tre år, återupptog han boxningen. Tyson lyckades, efter ett antal rostiga matcher, först erövra WBC-titeln genom att vinna över Frank Bruno på TKO i rond (3 mars 1996) och sedan WBA-titeln genom att slå ut Bruce Seldon i första ronden (september 1996).
No parent should ever go through the unimaginable task of burying a child. However, regardless of how famous someone might be, it doesn’t shield them from experiencing such a heartbreaking tragedy. More than a few celebrities have dealt with the death of their children on the public stage. Sol Xochitl and Mike Tyson were in such a place, but fortunately, they had an opportunity to receive support from their fans and followers.
