Mike Tyson Is “Grateful” He Got In The Ring “One Last Time” After He “Almost Died” This Year


After he was defeated by Jake Paul in Friday's match on Netflix, Mike Tyson explained why he's grateful for going up against 'The Problem Child'.

Although Mike Tyson suffered defeat at the hands of Jake Paul during Friday’s fight, he feels like a champ for getting back in the ring. Paul maintained a consistent lead against ‘Iron Mike’ at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium, landing 78 hits against Tyson’s 18 during the eight two-minute rounds. Reigning as the undisputed heavyweight world champion from 1987 to 1990, Friday marked Tyson’s first professional fight since his 2020 match against Roy Jones Jr., which was declared a draw.
