While attending the Miss Black America contest, Tyson met 18-year-old Desiree Washington. On July 19, 1991 Tyson took her back to his hotel room and allegedly raped the young pageant contestant. He was tried and convicted of rape, and in March of 1992, Tyson was sentenced to six years in prison. He spent three years of his six-year sentence in jail. Word leaked out that Tyson was a different man after spending time behind bars. He was said to be reading communist literature, Malcom X, and had even converted to Islam.
On his right forearm, Tyson has a dragon tattoo which is easily the most impressive of all his artwork. This is the one tattoo there is little information on, with nobody being sure of the tattoo artist or the actual meaning behind the tattoo. Tyson himself hasn’t discussed the ink but as The Sun detailed, “In Chinese culture, the dragon represents strength, wisdom, and freedom,” so it wouldn’t be a stretch to think Tyson knows this and wanted the tattoo to represent these things. Or maybe he just really likes dragons? We will never know until he comments on the artwork.
Struggling financially, the Tyson family moved to Brownsville, a Brooklyn neighborhood known for its high crime. Small and shy, Tyson was often the target of bullying.

That’s ridiculous! Human beings are ridiculous! Their thinking is ridiculous. Every animal knows their purpose, human beings live to be one hundred and don’t know! Why are we so stupid? And they gave us the power to run this place… why don’t we let animals run this place? Actually, they do run it.

A lot of famous people are known by just ONE THING: a winning shot in a championship game, saying the wrong word or phrase in a public speech or even a cameo in a Hollywood movie. You’re about to hear Tony interview someone who has had multiple defining moments that people remember him by.
Cus had us modify the affirmations for our own situation. So he had me saying, “The best fighter in the world. Nobody can beat me. The best fighter in the world. Nobody can beat me,” over and over again all day. I loved doing that; I loved hearing myself talk about myself.
Even though he retired in 2005 after the fight against Kevin McBride, trouble brewed since the infamous “Bite Fight” against Evander Holyfield on June 28, 1997. With his license revoked, ‘Iron’ Mike could resume 160lb boxing division only by 1999. He won quite a few fights. However, his last shot at a world title dashed against Lennox Lewis three years later. Eight months later, he was to face Clifford Etienne at The Pyramid, Memphis, on February 22, 2003.
Meaning: Tyson wants to carry on his body, the memories of his spiritual heroes, and that’s why, after the two communist leaders, he got the portrait of the less known ‘Arthur Ashe’ who was a popular tennis champion, also well known for his efforts to important social causes and the founder of the ‘Arthur Ashe Foundation’ for the defeat of AIDS. His portrait and the words ‘days of grace’ are tattooed on Tyson’s left shoulder.
The tattoo has become part of pop culture when one of the characters in the hit movie The Hangover, Stu (played by actor Ed Helms), wakes up to find he has the same tattoo. This tattoo forms the crux of several jokes, especially when Tyson pops up in the film, and was also the center of a lawsuit.
