Mike Tyson has shared a concerning admission following his fight with Jake Paul, revealing that he doesn’t remember much about the match. Despite the event taking place only a month ago, Tyson, now 58, says the details of his boxing return are hazy. The legendary fighter faced off against the YouTube-turned-boxer Paul, with fans warning him that it might not be a good idea to step back into the ring. However, Tyson went ahead with the fight, reportedly earning over $20 million for the spectacle.
Mike Tyson’s Shocking Memory Loss After Jake Paul Fight
While the match garnered significant attention and was a huge financial success, Tyson’s revelation about his memory loss has raised serious concerns.
“I don’t remember the fight that much,” Tyson said, hinting at how little he recalls from the bout. “I kind of blanked out a little.”
“I remember coming back from the first round and Jake is doing some kind of… I don’t know what he was doing. And that’s the last thing I remember.”
“The day after, I woke up and said to my wife, ‘Why did I do that?’ I just don’t know what the hell was going on.”
“I don’t remember it, but my body was really sore. My chest, my stomach was really sore.”
This admission has many questioning Tyson’s future in the sport. Fans who had already expressed worry about his age and fitness are now even more vocal, urging him to retire for good. Tyson, despite the troubling signs, responded by stating he wouldn’t change anything about his performance, even though he struggled with fatigue throughout the fight. He also admitted that he wasn’t entirely sure why he decided to fight Paul in the first place.
Tyson’s return to the ring, after nearly two decades away, was far from the explosive performance many expected. Instead, Tyson appeared slower and more drained than ever, showing signs that the years have taken their toll. With the physical and mental toll of the fight now evident, it seems increasingly unlikely that Tyson will return for another bout.
Although Tyson’s financial gain from the event is undeniable, the toll on his health and memory cannot be ignored. Given the concerns raised by both Tyson’s condition and the broader reactions from the public, it’s unclear whether the iconic boxer will ever step into the ring again. The world will be watching to see if Tyson listens to the growing calls for him to retire once and for all.
