Mike Tyson recently spoke Fox Sports about the mental roller coaster he faced after his long-awaited comeback fight. Despite claiming that “payday wouldn’t change his life”, the legendary boxer confessed that he felt “a bit down” once he lost the daily adrenaline rush of training. “That fight was such a big lift — we were on such a high, we were so excited,” Tyson revealed. “The fight’s over, boom. Wow, I’m a little depressed. We have to get back to our living situation, get back to living. We were training for nine months.” Hearing that level of honesty from a former heavyweight champion can tug at anyone’s heartstrings, especially considering how close he is to turning 60.
In addition to the post-fight story, the final statistics of Tyson’s bout with social media sensation Jake Paul paint a vivid picture of the matchup. according to Fox SportsJake Paul hit 78 of 278 total shots, with 31 of 179 connecting shots and 47 of 99 power shots hitting his mark. Tyson, on the other hand, managed 18 of 97 total punches, including 5 of 62 punches and 13 of 35 power punches.
Shortly after the fight, Tyson hinted on social media that his time in the ring may be over for good. It’s heartbreaking to see him unable to fully enjoy his incredible accomplishment, reminding us that sometimes the fiercest battles happen long after the final bell.
