After the fight, Tyson expressed his gratitude for the experience and stated that he did not regret returning to the ring. “This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets for getting in the ring one last time,” Tyson wrote. “I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25 lbs in the hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight, so I won.
