Mike Tyson’s son shared an update about his dad’s future in boxing,
The former heavyweight champ returned after almost 20 years to fight Jake Paul in Texas on November 15.
At 58 Tyson struggled against the much younger Jake Paul losing in a one-sided decision.
It seems Tyson may now be ready to hang up his gloves for good.
Will Mike Tyson Make Another Comeback or Stay Retired?
After his recent fight, Mike Tyson initially considered stepping back into the ring, even calling out Logan Paul after his brother’s big victory.
However, as time passed, Tyson seemed to change his mind. He shared a post online mentioning health challenges he faced earlier this year, strongly suggesting he might be ready to leave fighting behind.
His son, Amir Tyson, has now shared that his father is likely finished with boxing, noting the incredible 60 million fans who tuned in to his comeback match on Netflix.
“I think he’s done,” Amir told Seconds Out.
“My stepmom, she’s saying he’s done and they’re a team. That’s husband-and-wife stuff.”
The 27-year-old went on to address claims that Paul vs Tyson was ‘fixed’.
“Some people are on that bogus ‘Oh, it’s rigged’, Amir added
“We know it wasn’t rigged. He just got tired. Jake would move out the way. It looked like he pulled his punches back but Jake’s moving. It’s not like the pads, he’s moving.
“When someone doesn’t want to accept that someone lost, when it doesn’t go that way of course they’re gonna pull that. And that’s what they’re putting on the internet.
“His gas tank after the third round was just shot. That’s all it was. He just kept on staying throughout. He did his best. No holding back, he did the best he could at his age.”
Jake Paul’s team responded to rumors that his fight with Mike Tyson was rigged. Many people were saying the fight was fake, so Jake’s team released a statement to clear things up, saying the fight was real and not fixed.
