Mike Tyson lost to Jake Paul by unanimous decision. After the fight, "The Beast" shared his feelings about returning to the ring on social media.
This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I'm grateful for last night. No regrets about getting 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 - wrote Mike Tyson.
The boxer is set to earn 20 million dollars for the fight with the 27-year-old YouTuber. He also did not rule out a return to the ring in the future. A potential next opponent for "The Beast" has appeared on the horizon, namely Evander Holyfield.
Mike Tyson might appear in the ring again
The former WBC, WBA, and IBF champion beat "Iron Mike" twice, including once by the infamous disqualification when Tyson bit off a piece of his ear in 1997. The 62-year-old posted a graphic on Instagram, showing him alongside "The Beast," with the word "Trilogy" behind them.
Fans want it - said Evander Holyfield.
Journalists from the "Daily Mail" contacted the former boxer for a comment on this matter. In response, they heard: "Well, yes. If they want it. Never say never." Mike Tyson has yet to comment on this matter.
