Mike Tyson has expressed openness to a potential return to the boxing ring following his recent defeat to Jake Paul, which marked his first professional match in nearly two decades. The former undisputed heavyweight champion faced Paul in a highly publicized bout at AT&T Stadium in Texas, which many viewed as a mismatch. In the eight-round fight, Tyson, now 58 years old, struggled against the YouTuber-turned-boxer, ultimately losing by unanimous decision. The judges scored the match 80-72 and 79-73 (twice), with Tyson managing to win only two of the 24 rounds. Despite the loss, he finished the fight on his feet and maintained a sense of pride in his performance. Jake Paul, who emerged victorious, praised Tyson, calling him "the greatest to ever do it." Tyson's comments after the match hinted at the possibility of him remaining active in boxing, suggesting that he may not be done with the sport just yet.
