Ricochet makes a very bold claim about Mike Tyson after Jake Paul loss

Earlier today, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and the legendary Mike Tyson locked horns in a professional boxing match at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Paul defeated the 58-year-old.

Millions across the world watched this showdown, including AEW star Ricochet. He responded to the event by comparing the former undisputed world heavyweight world to Rocky Balboa, the main character from the Rocky films. This character was played by Sylvester Stallone. He starred as Balboa in 1976's Rocky, 1979's Rocky II, 1982's Rocky III, 1985's Rocky IV, 1990's Rocky V, and 2006's Rocky Balboa.

By comparing Tyson to Balboa, the AEW star meant to say that, even in defeat the 58-year-old was victorious. He took to X/Twitter to voice his opinion:

"Tonight was basically the same story as 'Rocky Balboa.' I see it as a win for Tyson," wrote Ricochet.

Ricochet made his AEW debut earlier this year at All In in Wembley Stadium. He and a few other faces of the company are currently in a feud with The Don Callis Family.

Before signing with the Jacksonville-based promotion, the 35-year-old wrestled for WWE. There he won the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the WWE United States Championship once each.

Mike Tyson does not believe in the word 'legacy'

Iron Mike was recently interviewed by the 14-year-old journalist Jazlyn Guerra. The teenager asked him what kind of "legacy" he hoped to leave behind.

Interestingly, the 58-year-old responded to this question by saying that he did not believe in the word 'legacy.'

"I don't believe in the word 'legacy.' I think that's another word for ego. Legacy doesn't mean nothing. That's just some word everybody grabbed on to. Someone said that word and everyone grabbed on to that word, now it's used every five seconds," said Mike Tyson. [H/T NBC News]

Out of 59 career fights, Mike Tyson has registered a staggering 50 wins. He is considered one of the greatest of all time.
