Legendary Mike Tyson Speaks Out After Being Defeated By Jake Paul During Netflix Event
Sometimes it is about the friends you make along the way. But for this boxing icon, it is about how he battled to even be able to participate and be in the ring one more time. After one of the most anticipated sports specials of the year came to a conclusion, the legendary Mike Tyson speaks out about his medical condition and recovery after being defeated by Jake Paul during the Netflix event.
Tyson took to social media in order to release a personal statement about Friday’s boxing match to his fans. He discussed what this moment has really meant to him. Via X, Mike states,
“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in [the] ring one last time.
I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.
To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for.
Thank you”
