"Memory lost"
Tyson no longer remembers fight against Paul
Around a month ago, boxing legend Mike Tyson stepped back into the ring against Youtuber Jake Paul. However, the 58-year-old has now confessed that hardly anything of the fight has stuck with him. "I don't remember the fight exactly," said the former heavyweight world champion.

"Lost half my blood"
The fight had already caused a great deal of excitement before the actual spectacle. Due to the old age of the former champion, there were concerns about possible health risks. After the fight, Tyson confessed: "I almost died in June, I had eight blood transfusions. I lost half my blood and eleven kilograms in hospital and had to fight to get better so I could fight."
Tyson had to admit defeat to Paul, 31 years his junior, on points in eight rounds. "Iron Mike" received the equivalent of 19 million euros for the fight.
