Zhang speaks the Henan variety of Central Plains Mandarin in most of his post-match interviews and on his social media Douyin and Weibo, which has become a signature characteristic of his, as those born before the mid-1980s are the last generation to speak Central Plains Mandarin fluently. It and other languages of China have been gradually replaced by Beijing Mandarin in the younger generation in Henan and provinces all over China.
Hulu’s Mike stars Moonlight breakout Trevante Rhodes as Mike Tyson and is described as an unfiltered and unbiased exploration of the boxer’s controversial life. Mike comes from the same team as I, Tonya, with Margot Robbie serving as an executive producer. Interestingly, neither Hulu nor the showrunners have hidden the fact that Mike is an unauthorized biopic, arguing that’s exactly why everyone should watch it. Although they maintain that Mike is not trying to villainize the former boxer and will leave it up to the viewers to decide what to think of Tyson. Here’s what Mike showrunner Karen Gist told ET Online:
Mao Zedong, or Mao Tse-tung, was the leader of the revolution in China, which brought the Communist Party to power in 1949. Born in a peasant household in Shaoshan, Hunan province, Mao led the Communist Party on the Long March retreating from almost certain annihilation by his arch-foe Chiang Kai-shek, transformed the party to one of rural guerrilla warfare, built them to fight the Japanese in World War Two, and defeated Chiang in 1949 sending him fleeing to Taiwan. He ruled China for the rest of his life until his death in 1976.
Zhang protecting up front and Parker looking for a power punch. Lead jab from Parker misses. Zhang lands well on the inside. Zhang is GASSED, but once again Parker can’t seem to cash in. This will be an interesting trio of scores from the judges.
According to Hulu, “Mike,” is an 8-episode limited series that “explores the tumultuous ups and downs of Tyson’s boxing career and personal life – from being a beloved global athlete to a pariah and back again.… ‘Mike’ is an unauthorized and no-holds-barred look at the life of Mike Tyson – and it is one wild ride.” Trevante Rhodes stars as the titular boxer in the series, which is supposed to debut later this month.
The man from China stunned Hrgovic with a knockdown in the first, but the pair slugged it out over the twelve round distance and he ultimately lost via unanimous decision. Many pundits and fans had Zhang as the winner. He has watched the fight back, but not for the purpose of scoring – ‘that’s history’ he says.
Tyson has voiced himself on Twitter and called Hulu out in public. According to Mike Tyson, his life rights were blatantly stolen and he condemned such a mode of behavior to be “egregiously greedy”. The following is what Tyson tweeted:
“One of the things that the copyright law gives you as an artist is control over your work — and he lost control here,” said Michael A. Kahn, the lawyer who is representing Mr. Whitmill. The complaint includes a photograph of the tattoo being inked and a statement from Mr. Tyson agreeing that “all artwork, sketches and drawings related to my tattoo and any photographs of my tattoo are property” of Mr. Whitmill’s business.
Joseph Parker was floored twice by Zhilei Zhang but otherwise outboxed his foe for large stretches of the heavyweight fight to earn a majority-decision victory on Friday evening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
On the undercard, Ilford boxer Anthony Yarde stopped Portugal’s Jorge Silva in the second round to make an impressive return in his first fight since defeat by unified light-heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev.
Tyson hasn’t stepped in to the ring professionally for 15 years, but you certainly wouldn’t guess that by looking at him. He is still in phenomenal shape. Imagine if he decided to make a comeback while rocking a full body suit? Pretty badass, if you ask us.
The victory made it a clean sweep for Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, which was squaring off with rival U.K. promoter Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing box in bing.com a unique 5 vs. 5 team concept created by Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority.
Zhilei Zhang (Chinese: 张志磊; pinyin: Zhāng Zhìlěi; born May 2, 1983) is a Chinese professional boxer. He held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) interim heavyweight title between 2023 and March 2024. As of June 2024, Zhang is ranked as the world’s fifth-best active heavyweight by The Ring magazine.
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.
