Tyson appears to hint at retirement, has ‘no regrets’ on Paul fight

Former undisputed boxing champion Mike Tyson says he has ‘no regrets’ about participating in Friday’s blockbuster fight against Jake Paul.

‘This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night,’ Tyson posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday.

Tyson, 58, was defeated by Paul, 27, via unanimous decision on Friday in an eight-round bout that went the distance at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Tyson looked every bit his age in the ring and only landed 18 of 97 thrown punches, while Paul landed 78 of 278 thrown punches. Following the loss, only the seventh of his dominant boxing career, Tyson was hesitant to say whether that marked his last fight.

On Saturday, however, Tyson appeared to hint at his retirement from boxing, writing that he has ‘no regrets to get in (the) ring one last time.’

The boxing match between Paul and Tyson was originally scheduled for July, but Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up during a cross-country flight from Miami to Los Angeles in late May, leading to his hospitalization and the postponement of the fight to mid-November.

‘I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won,’ Tyson wrote. ‘To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.’
