Tyson intimidated fighters with his strength, combined with outstanding hand speed, accuracy, coordination and timing. Tyson also possessed notable defensive abilities, holding his hands high in the peek-a-boo style taught by his mentor Cus D’Amato to slip under and weave around his opponent’s punches while timing his own. Tyson’s explosive punching technique was due in large part to crouching immediately prior to throwing a hook or an uppercut: this allowed the “spring” of his legs to add power to the punch. Among his signature moves was a right hook to his opponent’s body followed by a right uppercut to his opponent’s chin. Lorenzo Boyd, Jesse Ferguson and José Ribalta were each knocked down by this combination.
Tyson’s mother died when he was 16, leaving him in the care of D’Amato, who would become his legal guardian. Tyson later said, “I never saw my mother happy with me and proud of me for doing something: she only knew me as being a wild kid running the streets, coming home with new clothes that she knew I didn’t pay for. I never got a chance to talk to her or know about her. Professionally, it has no effect, but it’s crushing emotionally and personally.”

In March 2011, Tyson appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to discuss his new Animal Planet reality series Taking On Tyson.

One fateful day in the winter of 2003, Mike Tyson decided to get an enormous tribal tattoo right on his face. You might think that’s the sort of thing he’d look back on now at the age of 50 and regret, but no.
Justin Bieber is also famous for his tattoos. The artist behind the hit songs Baby, Yummy, and Lonely has over 50+ tattoos all over his body. Most of these tattoos are on his chest, arms, and legs. But one tattoo, in particular, has been the center of excitement and confusion. In November 2018, tattoo artist Jonboy posted a picture of Justin with the word ‘grace’ tattooed in delicate lettering above his right eyebrow. It is believed that Justin got this as part of a couple’s tattoos with his now-wife, Hailey Baldwin Bieber. And while the reasons behind the move are still unclear, it appears that Justin got rid of the tattoo within a few months. The tattoo is no longer visible on any of his recent social media posts.

Trying to restore his marred image of a bloodthirsty animal in vengeance, Tyson made a clean-up effort. He fought some undistinguished opponents before standing tall against Andrzej Golota.
