Boxing legend Mike Tyson is proud despite defeat, but partially because he overcame a medical issue, the extent of which had not been publicly revealed pre-fight.
In his first social media statement following Friday’s defeat to Jake Paul, Tyson said he “almost died” and “lost half of my blood” during a medical episode earlier this year.
“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” Tyson wrote. “I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.”
