I almost died in June, says Mike Tyson

Shares heartbreaking revelation one month after Jake Paul defeat

Former two-time world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has admitted he feels ‘kind of depressed’ following his return to boxing against Jake Paul last month.

The 58-year-old was soundly beaten by Paul, who is 31 years his junior, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The event, which was streamed to 65 million people on Netflix, was Iron Mike’s first professional bout in 19 years.

Tyson’s return to the sport was highly controversial, with the boxing community left divided due to the age-gap between the boxing legend and Paul.

While the once undisputed champion was handed a lucrative payday, his return back to normality has left him feeling melancholic.
