Mike Tyson revealed that he almost died last June when he lost half of his blood volume. However, he still successfully overcame his fate to return to the ring at the age of 58.

The legendary American boxer revealed: “I lost to Jake Paul but still feel like I won. I’m grateful for last night’s fight. I have no regrets stepping into the ring.

I almost died in June when I had to have 8 blood transfusions. I lost half my blood and 11kg. I fought for my life, I fought to be healthy again. So I feel like I am still a winner.

After going eight rounds, with a talented fighter half my age, in a packed stadium in Dallas, I think I had the experience any man could wish for. Thank you.”

Initially, the decisive match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul was scheduled to take place in July, but then the match had to be postponed for 4 months because Mike Tyson had health problems.

It is known that Mike Tyson still received 20 million USD despite losing to Jake Paul. He affirmed that he will continue to step into the ring in the future. “Iron Mike” even challenged Jake Paul’s brother, Logan Paul.

Mike Tyson shared quickly after the match: “I’m very happy. I came here to fight. I know Jake Paul is a good boxer. He also prepared very well for this match.

I don’t want to prove anything to anyone but myself. I’m happy with what I can do. I had a knee injury but that’s no excuse.

I have a habit of biting my gloves when I fight. I’m obsessed with biting. I don’t think this is my last fight. My next opponent could be his brother (Logan Paul).”
