Mike Tyson Is “Grateful” He Got In The Ring “One Last Time” After He “Almost Died” This Year

Although Mike Tyson suffered defeat at the hands of Jake Paul during Friday’s fight, he feels like a champ for getting back in the ring.

The former undisputed world heavyweight champion explained why he’s “grateful” he participated in the boxing match, which aired live on Netflix with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), after he suffered an ulcer flare-up in May that postponed the event. “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,” the 58-year-old wrote on X. “I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions.

Lost half my blood and 25 lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.  “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.
