“For the first fight, you gave me the opportunity, but your team made a mistake in choosing me,” said 40-year-old Zhang. “Your team going for the rematch is a bigger mistake. I’m here to end your career.”

In a rematch of their 2018 fight, Wilder faced Luis Ortiz again on November 23, 2019, winning by seventh-round knockout to retain his WBC heavyweight title after being behind on all three of the judges’ scorecards 58–56 and 59–55 (twice). After the fight, Wilder was full of praise for his opponent, calling Ortiz “the most dangerous heavyweight in the best weight division in boxing” and “an amazing fighter”. Ortiz was ranked #3 by the WBC at the time. Wilder’s knockout of Ortiz was selected as the winner of The Ring Magazine Knockout of The Year award for 2019.

The design of Tyson’s tattoo is inspired by Maori warriors’ facial markings, which are traditional tattoos called ‘moko.’ These tattoos are highly revered in Maori culture, often used to signify status, identity, and ancestry. While Tyson’s tattoo is not an authentic moko, the design borrows elements that symbolize warrior status and strength, echoing Tyson’s own identity as a fighter both in and out of the ring.

In the quarterfinals of the 2012 London Olympics, Zhang lost to Anthony Joshua. A year later, after winning a championship at the National Games of China, Zhang retired from the national team at age 30, laying his jersey in the center of the ring after his final fight. Then it was off to New Jersey, but not before he decided to leave his wife and son in China.

Later, while doing early morning roadwork, Ippo approached him. After Ippo mentioned how he must be full of spirit now that his match is set up, Takamura noted that it is only the super middleweight class, grumbling that he can’t afford to waste any more time since he is behind schedule. When Ippo revealed that Kamogawa and Yagi has a dream of having a fight at the Tokyo Dome, Takamura became motivated to have Ippo and him take Kamogawa to the Tokyo Dome. Ippo reminded Takamura that he isn’t a boxer anymore, but Takamura told him that it doesn’t matter how he gets there. Later, Takamura was at the Yamaguchi Chiropractic when he gets thrown out the window by Yamaguchi after asking her to “do it” with him to give him motivation. As Takamura left, a crow defecated onto his head, he locked eyes with a black cat, and Tomiko called out to him. After Takamura informed his gym mates of the bad omens he had at the Yamaguchi Chiropractic, Ippo suggested for him to go get an Omikuji at the shrine he goes to. Takamura declined at first before going with Ippo and Itagaki to the shrine to get an Omikuji. After getting the worse luck Omikuji, Takamura ran away. Later, while on a walk, Takamura noticed a boy chasing after a ball he dropped that was going out in the road. Seeing that a vehicle was coming towards the boy, Takamura ran in front of the vehicle to grab the boy, jumped off the hood of the vehicle and landed safely. However, since Takamura accidentally cracked the boy’s ribs while holding him, he took him to the hospital. While there, Takamura explained the story to Ippo and Yagi, who rushed to the hospital as they thought that Takamura was hurt.

Tyson is highly concerned when it comes to his Samoan culture. He is of Samoan and Spanish ancestry but was born and brought up in Australia. But, neither he nor his father speaks Samoan. He revealed that he is working hard to learn the language though, he is way too proud of his culture and feels it as an honor to represent his rich heritage in the UFC.

Undefeated Croatian Filip Hrgovic suggested on social media this morning that he would welcome the opportunity to fight Kiwi Parker in Riyadh saying: “I accept your offer, Joe. Let’s do it, let’s go, baby. Let’s get down. Let’s get down to business. See you soon, baby.”

O’Leary comes out looking to end the round. He is standing and trying to load up on Gardner. For the first time, we see a few shots coming back from Gardner. Perhaps this is what he wanted, to stand still and trade.

But an iconic tattoo having a whole different shape takes the cake. Just imagine a prime boxer with raw power, arrested multiple times, but sporting cute hearts on his face! A prime sentiment on X (@JiujitsuOtter) reacted “I’d buy him a beer for having the heart not to do it and made the most iconic tattoo in sports history instead.”

Barney-Smith has been working mostly behind the jab, throwing single shots with his left. They are quality but in this round he begins to put together combinations. Gomez is trying to come in and close that distance, but each time, Barney-Smith catches him with a counter.
