Mike Tyson reveals health crisis nearly cost him his life before Jake Paul fight

Mike Tyson revealed he faced a serious health crisis before his fight with Jake Paul, stating he "almost died" earlier this year. He lost half his blood and underwent eight blood transfusions due to a medical emergency related to an ulcer. Despite losing the fight by unanimous decision, Tyson expressed gratitude for the experience. He noted that fighting again at age 58, especially in front of his children, was a significant achievement after his health struggles. The fight, which took place at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, was delayed from its original July date due to Tyson's medical issues. The age and fitness gap between Tyson and the younger Paul was evident during the match.
