Mike Tyson has revealed just how poorly he was across the summer when the originally scheduled fight date with Jake Paul had to be postponed, with the former heavyweight champion saying he “almost died” and needed multiple blood transfusions just five months before stepping in the ring.
The 58-year-old went through eight two-minute rounds against Paul on Friday night in Texas, the younger man winning comfortably on points in a fight marred by controversy before and during the encounter – and now afterwards, too.
