Last month, Tyson returned to the ring to face former YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a fight that generated a lot of controversy. While the fight was the focus of public attention, the performance in the ring was not particularly exciting. The fight ended with Paul winning by unanimous decision in Texas, continuing his professional career with a professional record of 11-1.
During the fight, Tyson tried to return to his golden days, but was unable to deliver the performance expected of him. He managed to land just 18 hits over the eight rounds, which raised questions among fans. After the fight ended, some fans began to put forward theories that the fight was a “set-up” after footage emerged showing Tyson trying to land a punch and suddenly backing away, leading some to question the seriousness of the fight.
However, Tyson decided to respond to these rumors and clarify the situation. In an interview with Fox Sports Radio, the boxing legend confirmed that the fight was real. “It was a real prank,” he said. When asked why he wasn’t able to land as many punches during the fight, his answer was shocking to some. Tyson admitted he didn’t remember many details of the fight, saying: “I don’t remember much about the fight, I was in a mental blank state. “I haven’t analyzed the match yet.”
Tyson added: “What I remember is coming back after the first round, and Jake was crouching or something. “This is the last thing I remember.” “I wasn’t tired, I wasn’t sweaty,” he continued. “I went back to the house where we were staying, hung out with my wife and kids, then went to the party after the game and then went home.”
Tyson’s statements raised many questions about his physical and mental state during the fight. Although he is one of the greatest fighters in boxing history, at 58 years old his age is beginning to show in his performance in the ring. It’s clear that the boxing legend can no longer perform at the same level as in his golden years.
Some of the footage that surfaced during the fight raised questions about the severity of the fight, especially with Tyson confirming that he was not feeling tired or sweating, which is not appropriate for boxing duels, as fighters often suffer from these symptoms after many rounds. But for some, Tyson’s statements may help calm the situation and clarify the truth about the fight.
In turn, Jake Paul managed to significantly improve his professional record after this fight, adding another victory to his career in the boxing world. Paul’s victory over Tyson is considered a confirmation of his skills in the ring, although the Paul vs. Tyson fight was the target of criticism due to the latter’s performance. However, this fight was further proof that Jake Paul is determined to remain in the boxing world.
The fight between Tyson and Paul was expected to be a major sporting event, as two different generations of fighters met: the legendary Tyson, who was at the height of his glory in the nineties, and the young Paul, who entered the world of boxing in an unconventional way. Despite the confusion that prevailed after the fight, it appears that both Tyson and Paul made difficult decisions in their sporting and professional lives, making this fight more than an ordinary fight.
Ultimately, Tyson suggested that his mental state was likely the reason for his poor performance that night. There is no doubt that this fight continues to be the subject of widespread controversy in the boxing world, as some believe that everything was organized in advance, while Tyson insists that the fight was real despite the doubts surrounding it.
This incident highlights some of the challenges adult athletes face when trying to return to their former glory, especially as they age and their physical ability declines. As Tyson and Paul continue their sporting careers, this moment will continue to be part of sporting history and will be remembered by millions of people as one of the most controversial games of recent years.
