Mike Tyson Is “Grateful” of Jake Paul

Jake Paul had the opportunity to brutally knock out Mike Tyson, as everyone saw watch on Netflix last Friday. Despite the YouTuber’s harsh criticism for failing to finish Iron Mike, the 58-year-old retired boxer was thankful for it from a distance.

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.

Mike Tyson could have easily suffered brain damage

‘The baddest guy in the universe’, Mike Tyson, admitted to his closest team that he is thankful to Jake Paul for saving his life in the ring after taking a lot of punches, according to the Daily Mail.

Fans booed the 27-year-old YouTuber furiously when he bowed to his 58-year-old opponent, even as Tyson and Paul were in the ring and the fight was just seconds away from ending.

Despite being nearly 60 years old and having not competed for nearly 20 years, Tyson thought he could still enter the ring. Iron Mike’s followers have already requested him not to try to fight again because he has health issues and time has taken its toll on his appearance in the ring.

Furthermore, the fight was not an exhibition; it was part of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson’s official record, even though the script looked like a movie because it featured a man in his prime competing against someone who was nearly ancient and had been retired for nearly 20 years. The outcome was ultimately what the world had already anticipated: shame for the YouTuber and sympathy for Iron Mike.
