It’s a pretty basic tattoo and while you can see the resemblance to Turner, it’s not exactly a work of art. It also helps that the tattoo is on the inside of Tyson’s forearm so it’s not the most visible, meaning he doesn’t have to worry about people seeing it all the time.
Paul scored a first-round KO of journeyman August in December and followed up with a first-round TKO of another such opponent in Bourland on Saturday. But those bouts didn’t seem to elicit much attention.

Michael Gerard Tyson (born June 30, 1966) is an American professional boxer who competed from 1985 to 2005, and is scheduled to compete once again in 2024.

He reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990. Tyson won his first 19 professional fights by knockout, 12 of them in the first round. Claiming his first belt at 20 years, 4 months, site here and 22 days old, Tyson holds the record as the youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight title. He was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, as well as the only heavyweight to unify them in succession.

In 1990, Tyson was knocked out by underdog Buster Douglas in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.

For those whose history is a little shabby, Mao Zedong was the founder of the People’s Republic of China.

With rumors of alleged abuse, Tyson later admitted in the book Fire and Fear: The Inside Story of Mike Tyson that Givens was the recipient of the “best punch” he’d ever thrown in his entire life (via the Los Angeles Times).
Paul’s taunting went well beyond imitation. In the same video, the freshly tattooed YouTuber can be seen repeating one of Tyson’s old speeches word-for-word, with mentions of making Tyson his “girlfriend” and promising to “eat his children.” In any case, it appears Paul’s face tattoo is not real, with the account who posted the clip writing that while it is “definitely fake,” it makes for “hell of a promo video.”
