“I can fight any one of those guys, but do they want to fight me?,” Zhang, a rare heavyweight lefty, muses through interpreter Kurt Li. “This is one of the major problems out there, maybe because I’m an underdog, I don’t have a name yet. And what if they lose?”
“I thought Zhilei went in with the wrong strategy and mind frame,” said George, who watched the Games back home in New Jersey. “Zhilei listens to whatever his coaches tell him to do. So he went in there looking for the KO.”
Due to his conviction, Tyson was required to register as a Tier II sex offender under federal law. Tyson has continued to maintain his innocence. In 1992, Erinn Cosby, the daughter of comedian and actor Bill Cosby, publicly accused Tyson of sexually assaulting her in 1989, although no criminal charges were ever sought.

George liked China, so much so that when Zhang turned pro and moved to New Jersey, George stayed behind. Three years later, in 2017, Zhang, his career floundering, asked him to become his head trainer and George agreed.
In 2000 Tyson dismissed everyone who was working for him and enlisted new accountants, who prepared a statement showing he started the year $3.3 million in debt but earned $65.7 million. In August 2007, Tyson pleaded guilty to drug possession and driving under the influence in an Arizona court, which stemmed from an arrest in December where authorities said Tyson, who has a long history of legal contentions, admitted to using cocaine that day and to being addicted to the drug.

In August 2003, after years of financial struggles, Tyson finally filed for bankruptcy. Tyson earned over $30 million for several of his fights and $300 million during his career. At the time, the media reported that he had approximately $23 million in debt.
Before 2014, Zhang was a typical product of the Chinese state-centric sports development policy known as juguo tizhi (举国体制), with all his training schedule, coaching, insurance, housing, and meals arranged and paid for by the Henan Provincial Combat and Weightlifting Center. Hence, few Chinese boxers turn pro. The Henan Provincial Department of Sports secured public institution positions for athletes like Zhang should they retire in China.
On May 25, 2009, Tyson’s four-year-old daughter Exodus was found by her seven-year-old brother Miguel unconscious and tangled in a cord, dangling from an exercise treadmill. The child’s mother, Sol Xochitl, untangled her, administered CPR and called for medical attention. Tyson, who was in Las Vegas at the time of the incident, traveled back to Phoenix to be with her. She died of her injuries on May 26, 2009.
Mike Tyson ist den meisten Box-Beobachtern aufgrund seines aggressiven Kampfstils und der beeindruckenden Härte seiner Schläge in Erinnerung geblieben, was ihm schon kurz nach Beginn seiner Profilaufbahn den Namen „Iron Mike” einbrachte. Doch mit großer Schlagkraft allein waren seine zahlreichen vorzeitigen Siege nicht zu erklären. Auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Leistungsfähigkeit gegen Ende der achtziger Jahre verfügte Tyson auch über ein exzellentes Defensiv-Verhalten, was von Experten immer wieder unterschätzt wurde. Der sehr muskulöse, aber für einen Schwergewichtler kleine Tyson lernte unter Cus D’Amato nach dem Grundsatz „Defence first” zu boxen, wonach die wichtigste Regel ist, vom Gegner nicht getroffen zu werden. Grundlage dafür war die ausgeprägte Beweglichkeit Tysons im Rumpfbereich.
