In 2009, Tyson infamously beat up seven sex workers in Las Vegas while high. Calling it his “lowest point,” Tyson told Las Vegas Weekly in 2012 that he felt paranoid that they were going to try and rob him.
For Tyson, it was the beginning of the end. Not that it was obvious in the ring. Shortly after the Douglas fiasco he began his comeback, knocking out former Olympian Henry Tillman box in bing.com the first round on June 16, and defeating Donovan “Razor” Ruddick twice in 1991. He was all set to take on the new heavyweight champ, Evander Holyfield, in November, 1991. The fight never happened.
Zhang first met Kurt Li (李茂沛), his English translator (2012–) and his co-manager (2021–) when Li was a staff member handling application forms at the Department of Sports in the 2000s. Zhang asked Li for an application form and Li, a Sichuan Mandarin speaker, did not understand him.
She also described the tattoo used in the movie as “an exact copy” rather than a parody. On June 6, Warner Bros. told the court that, in the event the dispute was not resolved, it would alter the appearance of the tattoo in the movie’s home release. On June 20 it announced a settlement with Whitmill under undisclosed terms.
Washington herself testified that Tyson had “called her around 1:45 a.m. to tour the city, then picked her up in his limo, took her back to his room, and made small talk as they both sat on the bed.” After propositioning her for sex, Washington stated that she firmly refused and went to use the bathroom before leaving. “After using the bathroom, she said, she noticed some discharge on her panty shield. Washington said she removed the liner and threw it away.” When she came out, “Tyson then pulled her to the bed, pinned her down and raped her, she testified. “He was mean, evil,” she said. “I got on top and started to try to get away, but he slammed me down again.””. “Three days after the assault, Washington went to the police and accused Tyson of rape.” Partial corroboration of Washington’s story came via testimony from Tyson’s chauffeur, Virginia Foster, who confirmed Desiree Washington’s “state of shock” after the incident. Foster also testified that Tyson had previously attempted to sexually assault her too, having “lured her to his hotel room, tried to touch her, and then exposed himself”. Further testimony came from the emergency room physician, Dr. Thomas Richardson, who examined Washington after the incident and confirmed that Washington’s physical condition was consistent with rape. Richardson testified that Washington had suffered “two small vaginal abrasions, consistent with 20 to 30 percent of the injuries seen in sexual assault cases”, and that in approximately 20,000 cases over a period of 20 years, “only twice had he ever seen such abrasions following consensual sex.”
He took third place at the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Chicago, thus qualifying for boxing at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where he won a silver medal. His fight was the last event of the 2008 Olympics. His coaches were disappointed he missed the publicity that would have accompanied the final gold medal for China. Despite that, he attracted a lot of attention by being the first Asian to win an Olympic medal in the unlimited weight class. At the 2012 Olympics, he was defeated on points in the quarterfinal by Anthony Joshua, the future unified heavyweight world champion.

The legal action renewed claims of cultural appropriation but also saw some Māori tā moko artists defend Whitmill. Legal scholars have highlighted how the case juxtaposes Māori and Anglo-American attitudes on ownership of images. Despite never making it to trial, the case has been widely discussed in the context of the copyrightability of tattoos, a matter which has never been fully resolved in the United States.
If you are beeing payed to do artwork here in Holland or belgium, the copyright belongs to the one who payes you to do it BUT if they do something with your artwork that you really do not approve of you can reclaim your copyright. If I make an artwork on a human body the model has portretright unless you can not see who she/he is. In that aspect she or he always has the right to a free FULL SIZED copy of photos taken, as does the artist himself who has copyright. The photografer has no rights at all, he has to ask premision to the model and painter if he wants to publish or sell the pictures. if someone else uses his pictures and claims them to be their own, than he can offcourse claim his copyright to them.
But the Chinese fighter had his shorter and lighter opponent in trouble from early on as Joyce provided a static target for Zhang’s booming left hand and plenty of work for his corner as cuts opened up.
