Tyson lost the fight to YouTuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul, via a unanimous decision.
The fight took place at the AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas, United States (US).
The 58-year old narrated his story where he almost lost his life, saying, he lost half of his blood.
He said, “I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.”
In his post-Paul comment, Tyson said: “This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.
I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.
To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.
