Jake Paul had a lot to say following his victory over boxing legend Mike Tyson in their recent match. The fight took place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and was streamed live on Netflix on Nov. 15. Despite being defended by fans like Piers Morgan, who praised Tyson for going 8 rounds against a much younger opponent, Paul showed respect for the former heavyweight champion. He called Tyson a “beast” and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share the ring with him.
Tyson, who last competed in a professional boxing match in 2005 and in an exhibition match in 2020, admitted to being happy with his performance against Paul. He mentioned fighting through a leg injury during the match but refused to use it as an excuse for his performance. Despite his age and previous injuries, Tyson did not rule out a potential return to the boxing ring in the future.
When asked about a possible opponent for his next fight, Tyson jokingly mentioned Jake Paul’s brother, Logan Paul. In response, Logan Paul humorously stated, “I’ll kill you Mike,” which elicited a smile from the boxing legend. Tyson’s biting habit, which was famously displayed during his fight with Evander Holyfield in 1997, resurfaced during the recent match. He admitted to having a “biting fixation” and explained that he tends to bite his gloves while fighting.
Overall, the match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson was filled with excitement and surprises. Fans of both fighters were treated to a thrilling event, with Paul emerging victorious over the legendary boxer. Despite the outcome, both fighters showed mutual respect and sportsmanship towards each other. The future remains uncertain for Tyson in terms of his boxing career, but his passion for the sport and willingness to compete again indicate that he may not be done with boxing just yet.
