The highly anticipated fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, which captivated the boxing world last November, led to unforeseen outcomes beyond the ring. Despite his defeat, Tyson has turned his earnings into a new opportunity, making a bold and surprising move far from the squared circle that has stunned boxing fans.
The former world champion has purchased a stunning 2.7-acre estate in Delray Beach, Florida, for $13 million. The property, registered under his wife Lakiha’s name, marks a significant step in Tyson’s post-boxing journey.
Mike Tyson’s decision to venture into real estate has sparked interest among boxing fans and media alike. Many view it as a move toward stability and peace in a new phase of his life.
“The Tyson family has been a valued client and friend for many years, and it’s been a pleasure working with them,” said Joseph Schneider, the family representative.
