Alright, here’s the scoop on S. Victor Whitmill and his legal tango with Warner Bros. over Mike Tyson’s iconic face tattoo in The Hangover: Part II. Whitmill, the tattoo artist who originally inked Tyson’s tattoo, wasn’t too thrilled when he saw a very similar design in the movie sported by Ed Helms’ character. Therefore, he went ahead and sued Warner Bros., claiming they ripped off his copyrighted tattoo without his permission.
Less than a year later, Tyson was charged and convicted of rape and served three years of a six year sentence. Another comeback attempt followed his release and he once again captured the WBC and WBA titles by defeating Frank Bruno again and Bruce Seldon.
Tyson has always maintained his innocence in this case. He continues to deny raping Desiree Washington to this day. However, after nearly two weeks of testimony, the jury deliberated for just 10 hours before finding Tyson guilty of all charges in 1992.

“It was a good fight. I think I could have done better. I haven’t fought a southpaw for so long and credit to him because he’s a good fighter. I gave it my all. I think I could do better, but it’s just disappointing. I expected to win like I normally do. Thanks for all the support and congratulations.
One thing Tyson is known for besides his incredible skills in the ring is his tattoos. Tyson has several notable tattoos on his body, including the tribal tattoo on his face. This article will look at Tyson’s ink and explain the meaning behind his tattoos, hopefully giving you a great understanding of Iron Mike the person.
Aug. 19, 1995: In his first boxing match after being released from prison, Tyson wins in the first round when Peter McNeeley is disqualified after his manager enters the ring while McNeeley is being battered.
The tattoo drew significant attention before the fight. Tyson took time off of training to get it, which trainer Jeff Fenech would later say was a contributing factor to the fight being rescheduled by a week. Some questioned Tyson’s physical and mental fitness to fight. Experts including dermatologist Robert A. Weiss expressed concerns about Tyson boxing while the tattoo healed; Etienne said that he would not go after the tattoo. (Tyson ultimately knocked out Etienne in under a minute. ) The work—which Tyson and others have referred to as his “warrior tattoo”—was also met with criticism from the outset by Māori activists who saw it as cultural appropriation. In 2006, tā moko artist Mark Kopua in a statement to the Waitangi Tribunal called for “a law that would prevent a Mike Tyson or a Robbie Williams or large non-Māori companies from wearing and exploiting the moko”.
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.
Round 1: As is often the case in an orthodox vs southpaw clash, we start with fencing jabs, both men tapping each other’s leads and having a look. Oh, now we’re throwing leather! Joyce gets a left hook through but Zhang thuds home a couple to get the home fighter’s attention. Now a nice left from Zhang and Joyce responds with a lumbering, ineffective right. And again, another solid Zhang left. As we know, there’s nothing wrong with Joyce’s chin but he probably wasn’t planning on having it checked so soon.
This marked Rose’s second defeat in a bet against her dad, as she had previously lost to him. On this particular occasion, the stakes were even higher, as the consequence of her loss required her to sport a Mike Tyson-inspired face tattoo.
“I waited around, and two days later, he called and said, ‘Mike, I’ve got some tribal stuff.’ I said, ‘Woah, put another one over there’. I was like, ‘This is cool, I like this’. So he did it,” he added.
Perhaps overconfidence dissuaded Fuller and company from worrying too much about jury composition. As in the Rodney King/L.A.P.D. case, in which the prosecutors left three ex-security guards, the brother of a retired L.A.P.D. sergeant, and three National Rifle Association members on the panel, the defense seemed uninterested as a pro-prosecution jury formed before their very eyes, adding to Tyson’s growing list of handicaps.
June 8, 2002: In the final championship fight of his career, Tyson challenges Lennox Lewis for the WBC, IBF, IBO and lineal titles and loses by eighth-round knockout. The bout is held in Memphis, Tennessee, after the Nevada commission and other states decline to grant Tyson a license. But the event attracts 1.95 million PPV buys, a record since eclipsed by four Floyd Mayweather fights.
