Boxing legend Mike Tyson has broken his silence following his unanimous decision loss to Jake Paul during their highly anticipated Netflix fight on Friday night.
The match, held at a packed Dallas Cowboys Stadium, marked a poignant moment in Tyson’s career and life.
The 58-year-old icon expressed his gratitude despite the outcome, stating, “This is one of those situations when you lost but still won.”
Tyson shared that stepping into the ring again was a victory in itself, especially after overcoming a life-threatening health scare earlier this year.
“I almost died in June,” Tyson revealed. “Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25 pounds in the hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight, so I won.”
The former heavyweight champion emphasized the personal significance of the match, saying, “To have my children see me stand toe-to-toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age… is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”

Jake Paul, who has faced his share of criticism as he transitioned from YouTube to boxing, responded graciously to Tyson’s statement. “Love you Mike. It was an honor. You’re an inspiration to us all,” Paul wrote.
While Mike Tyson’s loss may be etched in the record books, his resilience and determination remain unmatched, inspiring fans and fighters alike.
