Mike Tyson Admits Regret and Memory Loss After Jake Paul Fight

The 58-year-old boxing legend reflects on his November bout with Jake Paul, revealing troubling memory gaps and questioning his decision to return to the ring.

Mike Tyson, 58, fought Jake Paul on November 15, 2024, in front of 70,000 fans at AT&T Stadium, with the event streamed by 108 million viewers on Netflix.
Tyson revealed in a Fox Sports Radio interview that he has little memory of the fight, recalling only moments from the first round and the final seconds when Paul bowed to him.
The fight, which Tyson lost by unanimous decision, saw him land just 18 punches compared to Paul's 78, leading to widespread criticism of the match's quality.
Tyson expressed regret the day after the fight, admitting to his wife that he questioned why he chose to step back into the ring at his age and condition.
Despite health challenges earlier in the year, including a near-death experience due to an ulcer, Tyson described the fight as a personal victory, as it allowed his children to see him box live for the first time.
