Mike Tyson makes terrifying Jake Paul revelation

Mike Tyson has made a terrifying admission about his fight against YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul.

In an eye-opening interview, the 58-year-old former heavyweight champ says he can barely remember the fight.

Paul won the bout via unanimous decision in a fight that drew widespread backlash with Tyson landing only 18 punches through eight rounds.

Now less than a month on from the contentious bout, Tyson has admitted he “blanked out” and can’t really recall anything from the fight.

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

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

The moment Tyson is referencing came in the dying seconds of the final round when Paul bowed to his opponent as a show of respect.

Tyson was asked about the power of Paul, but again his memory is foggy … all he remembers is waking up the next day and being sore.

“I don’t remember it. But my body was really sore (after the fight). My chest, my stomach was really sore,” he said.

The baddest man on the planet said upon reflection the next day he couldn’t understand why he had just put himself through it all.

“The day after I woke up and said to my wife, ‘why did I do that?’ I just don’t know what the hell was going on,” Tyson said.

The 58-year-old released a statement a day after the fight where he detailed the health issues he overcame to fulfil his goal of getting in the ring — something his kids didn’t get to see him do at the peak of his powers.

“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” the 58-year-old said.

“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 (11kg) 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.”

Jake Paul replied to the post: “Love you Mike. It was an honor. You’re an inspiration to us all.”
