| Well then, he has
succeeded in it; Myke Tyson has obtained the consent to return to activity
after a long disqualification. We left him on the ring of Las Vegas with
the Evander Holyfield's earlobe bleeding between his teeth, symbol
of an ill-advised as well as brutal fit. We will find him again on the
ring in an utmost attempt of agonistic redemption and to rehabilitate his
image. During the period of inactivity it has been thrown away several
words about him; it did not pass a day without too few edifying news about
his behaviours in public places or aggression attempts. The jail following
the sentence for rape seemed has given back to the boxe world an integral
athlete under the point of view of his physical form, who deemed the sport
an instrument for social ransoming. Tyson has succeeded in climbing till
the maximum world championship disputation, the reign it was his uncontested
dominion since he was young. It seemed to be the opportunity to re-assert
to the world his technical supremacy and maybe at the same time to make
the world forget that so few edifying image he built himself infringing
several times the civil code disposals. The double bite to Hoyfield during
the world dispute and the following disqualification have rejected him
twice, sending him back to the agonistic oblivion. Where he arouses from
now with an important chance, thanks to the decision of this commission
surely influenced by the colossal economic interest behind the Tyson name.
Apparently it seems it has played a determining rôle the touching
witness of Cassius Clay, affected by the Parkinson disease, in defence
of him: "Don't take a man away the hope of living. For Tyson, boxe means
keeping on being", those the words of Muahamad Alì that seem have
conquered the heart of the jurors. Let me distance myself from this kind
of American sentimentalism. The truth is that Tyson will fight again
because sponsors want it and for more genuine interests too, as the void
left by a super champion in the boxe fans memory.
The impression is that this will be a vain attempt anyhow if not under the agonistic point of view, surely human level. Tyson will be able to be, thanks to a chance, still an excellent boxer, maybe holding a world title. But human and social level he is and maybe he will remain a maladjusted person for ever, a rebel for whom every day life is to face as if it were on the ring. Nobody among his so many friends, managers, wives and acquaintances, has ever succeeded in bringing him to maturity. The billions circulating around his figure was the real honey around which several interest were buzzing; now the toy seems to be repaired many would claim authorship and managing. Till the next misadventure or the next obstacle due to an excess of his superego. For a sort of déja vu in the sporting world that, so to mention an example, has had in Diego Maradona the most evident victim. |
