biography.comMaster Z: The Ip Man Legacy is a spin-off directed by Yuen Woo-Ping and came out in Hong Kong a few days before Christmas 2018. In this, Zhang Jin reprises his role as Cheung Tin Chi from Ip Man 3 and the film follows his life after his defeat at the hands of Ip Man. He seeks redemption by squaring off against local gangsters, naturally. With cameos from Michelle Yeoh and Tony Jaa, and Dave Bautista as the bad guy, this looks like it’ll be a treat for martial arts fans.

In the world of sports, wisdom, and life lessons often transcend the boundaries of the field or the ring, offering profound insights into the human condition. One such piece of wisdom comes from the legendary boxer, Mike Tyson, who once said, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." This seemingly simple statement carries a profound message about life, resilience, and the nature of planning.

Returning home, Ip learns that Wing-sing has been diagnosed with cancer. On their way home from a medicine shop, Ip and Wing-sing are attacked in an elevator by Muay Thai Warrior, who Ip defeats before the elevator reaches the ground floor. Po tells Ip about Frank, who wants to eliminate Ip at all costs for obstructing his plans. Ip confronts Frank in his office, where Frank promises to leave the school alone if Ip can last an entire three minute fight. Initially overwhelmed by Frank's muscle and sheer force, Ip turns the tide by attacking Frank's lower half. They fight to a draw after the three minutes pass; seemingly impressed, Frank keeps his promise.

While we continue to anticipate the upcoming exhibition fight, Roy Jones Jr isn’t the first boxer to have an exhibition clash against Tyson. In 2006, Corey Sanders had a similar fortune when he locked horns with ‘Iron’.

Tyson regained one belt by easily winning the WBC title against Frank Bruno in March 1996. It was the second fight between the two, and Tyson knocked out Bruno in the third round. In 1996, Lennox Lewis turned down a $13.5 million guarantee to fight Tyson. This would've been Lewis's highest fight purse to date. Lewis then accepted $4 million from Don King to step aside and allow Tyson to fight Bruce Seldon for an expected $30 million instead with the intention that if Tyson defeated Seldon, he would fight Lewis next. Tyson added the WBA belt by defeating champion Seldon in the first round in September that year. Seldon was severely criticized and mocked in the popular press for seemingly collapsing to innocuous punches from Tyson.

"I had to use my whizzer, which was a fake penis where you put in someone’s clean urine to pass your drug test," Tyson explained. He added that he’d been high on cocaine when he bit Lewis’s leg in 2002.

After his release from prison, Tyson continued his downfall. In 1997, in a rematch with the reigning heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, Tyson chomped down on his opponent’s ear and spit it out in the ring. The infamous moment is facetiously teased in the first scenes of "Mike," foreshadowing that a later episode not released to the media will address it. Tyson, for his part, said in Undisputed Truth that Holyfield was fighting dirty and just got what he had coming to him.

On August 13, 2003, Tyson entered the ring for a face-to-face confrontation against K-1 fighter Bob Sapp immediately after Sapp's win against Kimo Leopoldo in Las Vegas. K-1 signed Tyson to a contract with the hopes of making a fight happen between the two, but Tyson's felony history made it impossible for him to obtain a visa to enter Japan, where the fight would have been most profitable. Alternative locations were discussed, but the fight ultimately did not take place.

Tyson’s increasing winning streak attracted stakeholders in the boxing works, including the media. But sadly, as soon as his career was set to take off, D’amato died. Pundits credit the death of the man who guided Tyson in his early career as the root of the troubles Tyson will experience in his glamorous career.

In 1964, Ip Man is diagnosed with throat cancer due to his history of chronic smoking. After his rebellious son Ip Ching fights back against a bully and is expelled from school, Ip Man decides to travel to San Francisco in order to look for study opportunities. After Ching and his father get into a heated argument that ends with the older Ip striking his son in the face, he entrusts Ching to his friend, Fat Bo.

In March 2009, 4-year-old Exodus tragically died after accidentally strangling herself on a treadmill cord at her mother’s home in Phoenix. Tyson spoke about the incident later that year in a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey. "My first instinct was a lot of rage, and I am so happy I had the tools in life not to go in that direction," he said. "There was no animosity. There was no anger towards anybody. I don’t know how she died, and I don’t want to know."
