Tyson was comfortably beaten by Paul in their mega-fight on Netflix.
Mike Tyson has made a worrying admission about his fight with Jake Paul that has raised further questions over why the bout was allowed to go ahead.More than 60 million households tuned in to watch the fight on Netflix but it turned out to be a major disappointment, with former undisputed heavyweight champion Tyson nowhere near his ferocious best."I wanted to give the fans a show but I didn't want to hurt someone that didn't need to be hurt," said Paul.
"This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I'm grateful for last night. No regrets to get in the ring one last time," he posted on X."I almost died in June. Had eight blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight, so I won.
