Paul vs. Tyson: A Historic Fight
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. 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 Cowboys stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”
