The 58-year-old revealed on the X platform: "I almost died in June". Tyson fought with extreme health challenges, including eight blood transfusions and a dramatic weight loss of 25 pounds. "I lost half of my blood and had to fight to get healthy for the fight," continued Tyson. These shattering statements throw a new light on his appearance in the ring.

The defeat against the 31 -year younger Paul was perceived by many fans as embarrassing, since Tyson had little chance. Nevertheless, the former heavyweight champion sees the whole thing positively: "This is one of these moments when you lose but still wins." Despite the defeat, Tyson shows gratitude for the experience of being back in the ring. "It is not a matter of course that my children saw me at eye level with a talented fighter," he added and emphasized the importance of this moment for his family.
