Mike Tyson has made a heartbreaking admission in the wake of his fight with Jake Paul.
Last month, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul claimed a tedious points win over former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in front of 70,000 fans in Texas.
Tyson, who was 58 and had not competed professionally in 19 years, was a shadow of his former self, landing just 18 punches in the entire fight, compared to Paul’s 78.
Nevertheless, Tyson, who suffered his seventh pro loss in 57 bouts, called out Paul’s brother Logan and suggested he could fight again.

This month, however, while speaking to Steve Covino and Rich Davis on the FOX Sports Radio YouTube channel, Tyson admitted he has felt depressed since the bout.
The 58-year-old admitted: “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 9 months.”
Tyson was originally scheduled to take on Paul in July, but the fight was postponed due to the former suffering a health scare on a flight.
Opening up on the incident in an interview with the New York magazine ahead of the clash, Tyson said: “I was in the bathroom throwing up blood. I asked the doctor, ‘Am I going to die?’ He said, ‘We have options.’ Options? I couldn’t believe it. I had, like, eight blood transfusions. The doctor said I lost half my blood. I almost died.

“I lost 25 pounds in 11 days. Couldn’t eat. Only liquids. Every time I went to the bathroom, it smelled like tar. Didn’t even smell like s*** anymore. It was disgusting.
“It threw me off [when I continued training]. All my coordination, stamina, everything was hectic getting back. I was peaked already.
“I could have fought him that day. Now I got to start from scratch. I just don’t give up. I’m an a****** sometimes. I’m a d***. If I haven’t outlived my enemies, I’ve turned them into my friends.”
