Mike Tyson says training for Jake Paul fight nearly cost him his life

Mike Tyson revealed he nearly died while training for his fight against Jake Paul. He experienced a medical emergency in June, requiring eight blood transfusions and losing half his blood and 25 pounds. Tyson described the experience as a fight for his health. Despite the health scare, Tyson fought Paul and lost in a unanimous decision after eight rounds. The fight, which had been highly promoted, was criticized for being low-energy and unevenly matched. Tyson expressed gratitude for the opportunity to compete again. The event attracted significant viewership, with 65 million concurrent streams reported by Netflix. However, it faced technical issues and production errors, including an accidental display of Tyson's nudity, which generated memes online.
