Mike Tyson Says He Lost But ‘Still Won’ Jake Paul Fight, Nearly Died Last Year

In a post on Twitter, Mike Tyson weighed in on his loss to Jake Paul in their boxing match last night for Netflix. He said that while he lost, he still feels like a winner.

He wrote: “This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won. To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.“
