Iron Mike returned to the ring for the first time in 19 YEARS to take on Paul in Texas.
The bout had a huge build-up, not least because it was pushed back from July to November after Tyson suffered with an ulcer.
And after the high of taking part in one of the most-watched sporting events ever, Tyson opened up on handling the fallout.
Speaking to FOX Sports Radio, he said: “That fight was such a big ascent — we were so up and high, we were so excited.
“The fight’s over, boom. Wow, I’m kind of depressed a little bit.
“We got to get back [into] our living situation [daily life], back to living. [We were] training for it nine months”.
It’s understood that over 108 million people tuned into watch the fight, which saw Tyson earn $20million as he fell to the seventh defeat of his boxing career.
Despite the sad ending to a legend’s career, the former world champ has already highlighted his gratitude at being able to get back in the ring.
Reflecting on his health scare and the bout on social media after the fight, he wrote: “This is one of those situations when you lost but still won.
“I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.
‘That’s the last thing I remember’ – Mike Tyson, 58, worryingly can’t recall Jake Paul fight after ‘blanking out’
“I almost died in June. Had eight 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.”
Tyson has since revealed that there is little he can remember about the fight, concerningly explaining that he had mind blank.
He said: “I don’t remember the fight that much, I kind of blanked out. I haven’t watched the fight. You know what I remember.
“I remember coming back from the first round and Jake was doing some sort of bow. That’s the last thing I remember. I wasn’t tired, I wasn’t sweaty.
“I went to the house we were staying in, I left the house with my wife and kids, went to the after-party then went back.”
