Zhang Zhilei verlor im Achtelfinale der Weltmeisterschaft 2003 in Bangkok gegen Grzegorz Kiełsa , gewann jedoch 2004 eine Bronzemedaille bei der Asienmeisterschaft in Puerto Princesa und die Silbermedaille bei der World University Championship in Antalya, nachdem er jeweils gegen Rustam Saidov unterlegen war. Bei der Weltmeisterschaft 2005 in Mianyang schlug er Vüqar Ələkbərov, schied jedoch im Viertelfinale gegen Odlanier Solís aus.
Rachael A. Carmen et al. in the Review of General Psychology posit that Tyson’s face tattoo may be an example of “body ornamentation as a form of intimidation”. Charlie Connell and Edmund Sullivan in Inked describe it as having become “instantly iconic”, while Vice’s Mitchell Sunderland ranks it as one of the two things Tyson is best known for, alongside biting off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear. Marie Hadley, in A History of Intellectual Property in 50 Objects, writes that the tattoo “has been described as one of the most distinctive tattoos in North America”. Its stature has increased over time, aided by Tyson and the 2009 comedy The Hangover, in which it is prominent on Tyson, who appears as a fictionalized version of himself. The tattoo has become strongly associated with Tyson and has made his persona more distinctive.
After his release from prison, Tyson continued his downfall. In 1997, in a rematch with the reigning heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, Tyson chomped down on his opponent’s ear and spit it out in the ring. The infamous moment is facetiously teased in the first scenes of “Mike,” foreshadowing that a later episode not released to the media will address it. Tyson, for his part, said in Undisputed Truth that Holyfield was fighting dirty and just got what he had coming to him.
Zhang and Wilder are both looking to get back in the win column after dropping their last fights—each to Joseph Parker in upset decisions. Wilder lost to Parker in December in 12 rounds and a unanimous decision while Zhang lost his fight to Parker in March in a majority decision.
Surely Whitmill is not the only individual to have created some vaguely tribal/polynesian design, but originality is not the issue (Whitmill isn’t suing just anyone with a design similar to his). The real question is that of fair use, which attorneys look at by posing four main questions:
He added: “Yao Ming and Li Na both left their mark on their respective sports and have both done very well, and now I also hope that more and more Chinese athletes, professional athletes, have very good performances in their sports.
In “The Hangover Part II,” the sequel to the very successful what-happened-last-night comedy, the character played by Ed Helms wakes up with a permanent tattoo bracketing his left eye. The Maori-inspired design is instantly recognizable as the one sported by the boxer Mike Tyson, which is part of the joke. (Mr. Tyson makes an appearance in both films, playing himself.)
Tyson’s showing in the trials didn’t make the cut. He lost to Henry Tillman, the eventual gold medalist, and failed to make the Olympic team. After that, D’Amato decided that it was time for his fighter to turn professional.

Many Māori took issue with Whitmill suing for copyright infringement when the work was, in their view, appropriative of moko. Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, an expert on Māori tattoos, told The New Zealand Herald that ” t is astounding that a Pākehā tattooist who inscribes an African American’s flesh with what he considers to be a Māori design has the gall to claim … that design as his intellectual property” and accused Whitmill of having “never consulted with Māori” and having “stole the design”. Bloom suggests that Te Awekotuku’s argument could have formed the basis for a defense that the tattoo fell below the threshold of originality.
As a result, Tyson was disqualified from the fight, fined more than $3 million, and had his boxing license suspended (though it was reinstated a year later.) He later tried to explain why he’d bitten Holyfield, saying at a press conference:
