Former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson said he was not surprised by what happened in the ring after his loss to American influencer Jake Paul at a boxing gala night in Arlington (Texas, USA).
The fight was official and lasted eight rounds, and the 27-year-old Paul won by unanimous decision (80-72, 79-73, 79-73).
"I'm not surprised that this happened. I wasn't trying to prove anything to anyone, I'm just glad I was able to fight. Paul is a good boxer. Is this the end of a career? It depends on the situation. "I don't think this is my last fight," Tyson said after the fight.
The 58-year-old boxer suffered the seventh defeat in his career, in which he still has 50 victories (44 by knockout).
"First of all, respect to Mike. He is a legend! If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be here. It was a tough fight. Was I trying to knock him out? I tried to hurt him, but I was afraid that he would hurt me too," commented Paul after the fight.
