Mike Tyson reflects on health struggles after defeat to Jake Paul
Mike Tyson, 58, lost to Jake Paul by unanimous decision in Texas, but described the experience as a victory. He revealed he "almost died" earlier this year, requiring eight blood transfusions and losing significant weight due to health issues. Tyson's fight with Paul was heavily criticized, with fans booing as he landed only 18 punches compared to Paul's 78. This marked Tyson's seventh loss in 57 fights. The match was postponed from July due to Tyson's serious stomach ulcer. Despite the defeat, Tyson expressed gratitude for the opportunity to fight again, emphasizing the significance of finishing eight rounds in front of his children and a large audience.
