In early August 2024, even before the end of the Boxing tournament at the Paris Olympics, the news dispersed on the Web that the former absolute world -weight champion challenged the future winner of the competition. We checked the reliability of such messages.
August 3 Telegram channel "Uncle Glory"(195,000 views at the time of writing this analysis) said:" Mike Tyson offers to fight the winner of the "Olympic" games (transboxier) in boxing and transferring the proceeds to charity for women who have been beaten. " According to the TGSTAT service, at the time of writing this analysis, at least 180 such publications appeared in Telegram, which had gained more than 820,000 views. For example, channels told about this news "Federation"(62,000 views),"A special opinion"(44,000),"Denacification UA"(42 000),"Russia 2.0"(42 000),"Notes of Zhirinovsky"(29,000),"Tin of Russia 18+"(24,000) and others. Similar posts can be found in VKontakte, where, for example, Record In the Pop Pop - MMA gained more than 55,000 views. In addition, popular videos on this topic can be found in Tiktok (examples here And here).
None of the above publications mention the name of the athlete, which Tyson could call for battle - and this is logical, because by that time the Olympic boxing tournament has not yet ended. Judging by the mention of the “Transboxer”, the authors of the posts hint at Algeria Iman Helif or representative of Taiwan Lin Yuritin. The sexual belonging of both athletes is wide It was discussed In the media, they were called transgender people and men. Both Helif and Lin in the end steel Olympic champions in their weight categories.
In viral posts, the source of information about the call that Tyson allegedly abandoned is not called, however, many publications provide a screenshot of news on a certain English -language site. This is a note on the portal The Pekle's Voice, published August 2 and dedicated mainly Helif. At the end of the article, Tyson stated that he was ready to fight with the future Olympic champion, and all the proceeds to help women affected by domestic violence. The surname of the alleged rival in the text is not named, but the material is illustrated by viral memes And a photograph of an Algerian athlete.
The People’s Voice website previously worked under other names - Newspunch and Your News Wire. In 2018, the Pointer Institute Turned on This resource is among the most active distributors of fakes and conspiracy theories in the English -language segment of the Internet. "Retrieved" also repeatedly Reit The inaccurate information of this portal. Neither in the verified profiles of Tyson in social networks, nor on the sites of authoritative sports media there is no evidence that the boxer is preparing for the battle with Helif or any other Olympic champion. The athlete completed his professional career in 2005, but on November 15, 2024 Planned His battle with the boxer-yutber Jake Paul.
The primary source of the news about Tyson on The Pekle’s Voice, apparently, has already served remote user tweet with userneum @rob1865_, published August 1 at 20:04 Moscow time marked by Breaking News ("Urgent News"). Judging by Description Profile, page owner openly supports US presidential candidate from Republicans Donald Trump. WITH Note Breaking News Blogger places posts in which often Fasten Democrats And the agenda associated with them (in particular, transperson rights).
Since tweet @rob1865_ Hanged (both in itself and in the form of screenshots), the factor of the agency Reuters and project Lead Stories They turned for comments on the representatives of the ex-champion. “This is an absolute lie. Mr. Tyson has not yet publicly commented on this situation, ”the reciprocal emails said.
Thus, Tyson did not call any of the winners of the boxing tournament at the Olympic Games in Paris. Initially, the user of the social network X wrote about this, who, apparently, conceived his tweet as a joke, and then removed it. As for the gender affiliation, Helif, as before It wrote “Verified”, there are no evidence of the athlete of the transgender transition, but the statements about the presence of “male” Y-chromosomes are currently controversial and are based on conflicting data.
In conclusion, we note another inaccurate statement on this topic, spreading on social networks. August 4 Telegram channel "The cart online"(25,000 views) wrote:" The authors of the film "Very Scary Cinema - 5" In 2013, looked into the future and predicted events at the Paris Olympics. Mike Tyson was perfectly embodied in the image of a transgender hero (-ini). ” A fragment is given in the post in which the main character of the tape is beaten by Boxing Tiffany Stone with the appearance of Tyson. A similar publication appeared in the channel "Savanichi"(93,000 views), there are similar posts on VKontakte (here And here).
In fact, this scene Taken from the film "Very terrible movie - 4", Who came out in 2006. In the credits indicatedthat the role of Tiffany Stone was played by actor Michael McDonald. Moreover, the names of the Grimerians who were responsible for giving an artist of external resemblance to Tyson are also named. Boxer appeared Only in "Very terrible movie - 5", But in the role of oneself.
