Mike Tyson’s honest answer when asked what’s next following loss to Jake Paul

On November 15, Tyson and Paul squared off at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, drawing an incredible 72,000 spectators in addition to an estimated 120 million viewers worldwide on Netflix.

 

Despite the fanfare and the participation of well-known celebrities, the main event’s action was lackluster, despite the bout becoming the biggest American boxing event to be hosted outside of Las Vegas. The Paul/Tyson bout has even been called “boring” by some.

It was evident by the end of the eight two-minute rounds that the 58-year-old couldn’t handle Father time, much less a 27-year-old Paul, who won by unanimous decision.

 

 

In the wake of his loss, Tyson has now disclosed his next career step.

After the fight, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ was asked if he thought his career was over. He honestly said, “I don’t know.” It is contingent upon the circumstances.

“I don’t believe so,” he added. “I only proved myself to myself, not to anyone else. I’m content with what I can achieve; I’m not one of those men who tries to please everyone.”

Tyson, who appeared rather disheartened after his defeat, was then asked, “You’ve got more in you?”

In response, the world’s youngest champion said, “Yes.”

He went on to say that he would be willing to attack Paul’s brother Logan Paul, who responded, “I’d kill you, Mike.”

 

 

Tyson hasn’t participated in a professional fight in 19 years.

But in 2020, he faced Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition match, which was his final time in the ring.

Iron Mike dominated the majority of the contest, but to the disappointment of many fans and commentators, the outcome was a draw.

‘El Gallo de Dorado’ Paul, on the other hand, last fought earlier this year and defeated Ryan Bourland via first-round knockout.

 

 

He claimed at the time that although defeating someone in the first round felt fantastic, he would much prefer face a challenge.

“To be honest, I’m a little let down. At a press conference following the bout, he stated, “I want more, I want a challenge, and we had someone with 20 fights and I just keep on getting these guys out of there in the first round.” “The supporters are also a little let down since I train so hard. I want someone to put me to the test so I can improve and demonstrate some of my new abilities.

“I did feel good, I just wanted more and we will go back to the drawing board and see who’s next,” he stated.
