Even though the court refused to halt the release of the film, they did see merit in Whitmill’s lawyer’s arguments. After a lengthy all-day discussion between the two parties, Warner Bros decided to settle the case out of court. Following their settlement, Whitmill’s attorney released a statement that read: “Warner Bros. and Mr. Whitmill have amicably resolved their dispute. No other information will be provided.”
In July 1991, Tyson was accused of raping Desiree Washington, a Miss Black American contestant. On March 26, 1992, after nearly a year of trial proceedings, Tyson was found guilty on one count of rape and two counts of deviant sexual conduct. Because of Indiana state laws, Tyson was ordered to serve six years in prison, effective immediately.
The family lived in Bedford-Stuyvesant until their financial burdens necessitated a move to Brownsville when Tyson was 10 years old. Throughout his childhood, Tyson lived in and around neighborhoods with a high rate of crime. According to an interview in Details, his first fight was with a bigger youth who had pulled the head off one of Tyson’s pigeons. Tyson was repeatedly caught committing petty crimes and fighting those who ridiculed his high-pitched voice and lisp. By the age of 13, he had been arrested 38 times. He ended up at the Tryon School for Boys in Johnstown, New York. Tyson’s emerging boxing ability was discovered there by Bobby Stewart, a juvenile detention center counselor and former boxer. Stewart considered Tyson to be an outstanding fighter and trained him for a few months before introducing him to boxing manager and trainer Cus D’Amato. Tyson dropped out of high school as a junior. He was later awarded an honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from Central State University in 1989. Kevin Rooney also trained Tyson, and he was occasionally assisted by Teddy Atlas, although Atlas was dismissed by D’Amato when Tyson was 15. Rooney eventually took over all training duties for the young fighter.
Tyson continued to win in 1991 before legal issues halted his career. After being arrested for rape, Tyson spent six years behind bars. During this time, Tyson converted to Islam. Upon release, Mike Tyson was legally required to register as a sex offender.
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 is fascinating because this fight has so many questions. We have no clue what to expect from these two big-punching fighters. I could see any outcome in this fight. Wilder looked awful last time out and maybe he is a shot fighter. Zhang had moments against Joseph Parker but also struggled. It seems if you can get through the early going against Zhang you can outhustle him in the second half of the fight but that’s not Wilder’s style. Both have the power to hurt the other and it’s probably who strikes first. I don’t think this fight goes into the second half with both knowing one mistake could likely spell the end. I think Zhang’s southpaw stance and extra weight could be key. I’ll go without too much conviction for Zhang to catch and stop Wilder in five rounds.”
That did not work either. Joyce was sluggish, tentative and frankly lethargic during the fight, failing to throw anything meaningful and looking rocked as soon as Zhang picked him off on the inside. By the time Zhang felled Joyce with a spiteful haymaker in the third round, it felt as if ‘The Juggernaut’ had already lasted too long.
The match is set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event will be livestreamed exclusively on Netflix via a partnership between the streaming giant and Paul’s Most Valuable Productions, Netflix announced Thursday.

He’ll remain a big box-office attraction for whoever comes along with a large enough name. Back in 2020, after Paul knocked out Nate Robinson, he said his dream fight was with UFC star Conor McGregor. At the time, it seemed absolutely ridiculous that could ever happen. Fast forward less than four years later and it’s a distinct possibility. McGregor has two fights left on his UFC contract. He wrote on Instagram earlier this week that he wants to fight twice this year, once in June and once again in September. That would potentially make him a free agent before 2024 is out.
