Matthews said he remembers Tyson biting off a chunk of Holyfield’s ear and spitting it back out at his feet. Many fans were angry and disgusted by the act, Matthews said. For others, it was a heartbreaking moment — a realization that Tyson may have truly just ended his own career, Perez said.
During road work, Takamura saw high school student Ippo Makunouchi getting beaten by Masahiko Umezawa and his friends. Takamura intervened, driving the bullies away and reluctantly taking an unconscious Ippo to the gym. There, he expressed his disliking for both bullies and those who simply let themselves be bullied. In order to make the frustrated Ippo feel better before leaving, he taught him how to do a straight and encouraged him to defend himself next time. Noticing his well-built body and incredible strength, Takamura gave Ippo a video showing a collection of Mike Tyson’s knockouts, in an attempt to encourage him to practice boxing as a way of learning self-defence and relieve his stress.
Although his drug arrest was a one-off, Tyson has since discussed his alcohol and drug abuse and ongoing recovery. “I’m on the verge of dying because I’m a vicious alcoholic,” he said at a 2013 press conference, also admitting that he had been lying about his sobriety to family and friends. Tyson also admitted to abusing cocaine in his 2013 autobiography Undisputed Truth.

When Volg’s IBF lightweight title match was soon, Sendō accidentally arrived to the Kamogawa gym to watch with Ippo a day before due to the time difference between Japan and America. Takamura decided to have Sendō party with him for the night since he has to stay in Tokyo. During the party, Takamura gave Sendō permission to spar with Ippo the nest day while no one is at the gym. After Sendō sparred with Ippo, Takamura asked Sendō how Ippo was. Takamura suspected Sendō was lying when he claimed that he was good, asking him if Ippo has become weaker, but Sendō replied that he was just stronger. Takamura asked what would happen if Ippo lost and never gets a chance of getting the world title, to which Sendō answered that he would get the belt himself and wait for Ippo.

Later, Takamura called Ippo to meet him at the shrine. Takamura wanted to know if using the shrine actually works, however, Ippo explained that the shrine can’t be defined by probabilities and that one can pray to help reduce feelings of unease. Takamura decided to do an offering, throwing a coin into the shrine. Ippo wondered Takamura was anxious about fighting Dragon, but Takamura expressed his excitement for the match and thought that Dragon is ambidextrous when Ippo noted how Dragon seemed like a former southpaw boxer, planning to just fight it out to see in bing.com who’s the strongest as always. When Takamura was asked by Ippo what he prayed for, Takamura claims that there are things he can’t control on his own and his strength isn’t enough for, so he wanted to ask for the Gods to help for some peace of mind. Takamura accidentally pulled the string too hard and breaks it. Before leaving, Takamura asked Ippo if he ever thinks that he should give something another try, as he has his boxing and natural talent, asking what is more valuable than those. Without hesitation, Ippo answered with his mother, leaving Takamura to realise that he has to do it on his own.
“I thought it was so hot. I would be in these dens, these clubs and strip places sometimes and all the girls said ‘oh you are very exotic, where are you from? Where did your family come from? Why did you put this tattoo on your face?’
The unified champion is defined as a boxer that holds at least two world championships of major sanctioning bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF, or WBO) in their respective division. Around 2004, the World Boxing Association recognized three different types: the unified champion (two-titles holder in the weight division or category, obliged to defend the title against WBA’s No. 1 contender in 18 months periodically), the undisputed champion (three-title holder, mandatory defense against WBA’s challenger in 21 months regularly), and the super champion (four-title holder, WBA’s mandatory defense in 24 months periodically). The rules required only one unified/undisputed/super champion per weight class; the purse in the bid would be distributed in a 65/35 ratio in favor of the unified champion. However, along with the changes to “super” status (besides holding more than one title, the super titles were awarded to champions that were able to defend the WBA title 5 times), the term “undisputed” was dropped completely.
