Mike Tyson's brutally honest confession about 'depression' following Jake Paul fight sends fans into a frenzy: "Such a c**t"

Fans reacted to Mike Tyson's recent revelation about experiencing depression following his boxing match against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

Tyson returned to the ring after nearly 20 years for a professional bout, taking on Paul in one of the most controversial matchups due to their 31-year age difference. The fight took place this November at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. 'Iron Mike' endured a unanimous decision loss after an eight-round contest, with each round lasting two minutes.

Tyson trained rigorously for his highly anticipated return to the ring and was thrilled for the contest. However, following his unanimous decision loss to Paul, the 58-year-old now finds himself living a mundane routine, feeling like an ordinary man.

Speaking on Fox Sports Radio, Tyson admitted to struggling with depression after the fight, saying:

“That fight was such a big ascent. We were so up and high, we were so excited. The fight’s now over and boom. Wow, I’m kind of depressed a little bit. We got to get back into daily living.”

@BoxingKingdom14 shared Mike Tyson's comments on their X account, which sparked mixed reactions from fans. Many rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts on Tyson’s revelation.

One fan expressed frustration over the contest, writing:

“Fight shouldn’t have happened in the first place.”

Another user emphasized that Tyson should focus on the positives, commenting:

“Tyson should be happy he made 20 million and start focusing on his health.”

Another fan wrote:

“Mike Tyson is depressed because he's feeling guilty about his loss to Jake Paul, and it will haunt him for a very long time. He should've never fought in the first place and avoided the rigged match in the ring.”

One user added:

“Jake Paul is such a c**t for that fight.”

Dricus Du Plessis defends Mike Tyson’s legacy after loss to Jake Paul

UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis shared his thoughts on Mike Tyson’s legacy following his defeat to Jake Paul in a high-profile boxing bout.

‘Stillknocks’ was recently interviewed by Jacaranda FM, where he defended Tyson’s legacy. He emphasized the significant age gap between the two fighters and said:

"No, nothing can ruin Tyson's legacy. I mean, in his past, what he's done, the man is 60 years old, give him a break. I don't know how people were surprised by that. I mean, you can be as good as you want, but at the age of 60, you are not beating another professional sportsman at the age of 30."
