Mike Tyson did not give his fans the expected performance in the fight against Jake Paul last week in Arlington (USA). Which, among the various factors that have arisen since the fight occurred, could have been caused by a problem the boxer encountered while preparing for the fight.

In a social media post, the legend of the noble art revealed that he was “almost dead” in June, saying he had received eight blood transfusions and struggled with blood and weight loss, without specifying what would cause such a damage to the skin. his health.

– It’s one of those situations where you lose, but you also win. I’m grateful for the last (Friday) night. I have no regrets I almost died in June. I had to undergo eight transfusions, I lost half my blood and 11 kg. I stayed in the hospital and had to fight to recover to be able to be here. So I survived – declared Tyson.

The statement may have been a reference to an event that happened to the fighter weeks before the original date of the fight against Paul, which would have occurred in July. The fight was postponed until November due to a medical issue suffered by Tyson, which was said to be due to an ulcer.

If such a problem may have somehow hindered his performance in the ring, Mike Tyson preferred to attribute the loss of Jake Paul to his health, preferring to highlight the fact that he managed to survive the fight against the YouTuber until the end.

– Having my children watching me face to face, fighting eight rounds against a talented fighter half my age, in a packed stadium is an experience no man has the right to ask for. Thank you – said the former heavyweight champion.
