Mike Tyson revealed that he nearly died in June due to a medical emergency that required eight blood transfusions, during which he lost half his blood and 25 pounds in the hospital. This health scare led to the postponement of his fight against Jake Paul, originally scheduled for July 20, 2024. Despite his defeat by Paul last night, the 58-year-old boxing icon expressed gratitude for being able to return to the ring one last time, stating, "This is one of those situations when you lost but still won." He added that he has no regrets about his decision to fight again.
