Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul sharply divided opinions, to say the least. While it was a resounding commercial success, the significant age difference and fitness level between the fighters was hard to ignore.
Tyson was 58 when he laced up the gloves to face Paul on November 15, 2024. Meanwhile, Paul was just 27 at the time. In the fight, ‘Iron Mike’ was far from his best self and landed just 18 of his 97 attempted punches.
The fight ended in a decision win for Paul, adding a defeat to Mike Tyson’s professional record of 50-7-0. Tyson has now shockingly revealed that he is yet to fully recover from the fight.
Speaking to the NY Post, Tyson said:
