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:

I feel pretty good. I don’t know if I’m 100 percent recovered, but I feel good.

Meanwhile, speaking to Fox Sports Radio last month, Tyson made a surprising admission, claiming that he didn’t remember much from the fight.

While the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul was surrounded by controversy, 60 million people tuned in to watch the contest.

Jake Paul continues to make waves in the boxing world with his unique and unconventional approach to the sport. And while what fans saw was a much older version of Mike Tyson, it was great to see the legend back in the ring once again.

Mike Tyson has revealed that he has not fully healed from his loss to Jake Paul – more than two months after they clashed in the ring.

The 58-year-old was beaten on points by the YouTuber-turned-boxer in November, in a fight that sparked controversy – and even claims it was rigged.

Tyson struggled against Paul, who has had only 11 professional fights but is more than three decades younger than the former world heavyweight champion.

The fight broke records but Tyson has now revealed the physical toll it took on him. He told the New York Post: ‘I don’t know if I’m 100 percent recovered, but I feel good.’

‘Iron’ Mike, once known as the Baddest Man on the Planet, previously admitted he could barely remember the eight rounds at AT&T Stadium in Texas.

‘I don’t remember the fight that much, I kind of blanked out a little,’ he told Fox Sports Radio in December.

‘I remember coming back from the first round and Jake is doing some kind of… I don’t know what he was doing (Tyson leans forward, pretending to bow) and that’s the last thing I remember.’

The controversial fight – Tyson’s first professional bout for 20 years – had to be pushed back several months after Tyson suffered an medical scare.
