Jake Paul beats 58-year-old Mike Tyson as the hits don't match the hype

I'm not one of those guys that looks to please the world

Mike Tyson

I was explaining to my trainer I don't know what's wrong with me. Coming here from Miami on the plane, I went to the bathroom, and I threw up blood. The next thing I know, I'm on the floor."

In a Netflix docuseries on the fight, Tyson said

I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions,

Tyson posted

I couldn’t walk the streets because we’d start a riot … It was like Beatlemania.”

His autobiography describes a visit to London in 2000 when he found that

A week and a half ago, I was training and I was doing great and then all of a sudden I started feeling tired,

Tyson said in the docuseries

Love you Mike. It was an honor. You’re an inspiration to us all."

Paul commented underneath Tyson's statement saying

I asked the doctor, ‘Am I gonna die?’ and she didn’t say no,

he added in the show

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I'm grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time. 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."

He told his Twitter followers

Yeah, definitely a bit,

Paul said during the post-fight press conference after being asked if he went easy on Tyson

I think it could happen in the next 24 months,

Paul said

There may never be another moment like this in boxing, but I believe we can find something,

Paul said

Boxing is ebbs and flows, ups and downs, big events, small events, medium-size events,

said Nakisa Bidarian, Paul's promoter

We needed to see Mike Tyson get knocked out; that would have been true sport!”

And yes, to highlight the problem with the inauthenticity of this fight – to highlight how it ridiculed actual sport – might sound like implying

He got a phone call from a good friend of his and a big supporter, his excellency Turki Alalshikh, when he was in the locker room just before he went out,

The fight was not great for boxing.”

American basketball icon Magic Johnson expressed his disappointment on X, saying

I have a habit of biting my gloves,

Tyson said

I have so much respect for him,

Paul said

Let’s give it up for Mike,

Paul said in the ring, not getting much response from a crowd that started filing out before the decision was announced

First and foremost, Mike Tyson — it's an honor to be able to fight him,

I cut it off because I couldn’t watch anymore. It’s sad to see Mike Tyson like this because I went to every Tyson fight. This fight tonight was not great for boxing."
