Mike Tyson has never been ranked so low during his legendary career.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion recently returned to the ring as a professional for the first time since he was stopped by journeyman Kevin McBride after trying to bite his nipple when they fought in 2005.
60 million people tuned into Netflix to watch his fight with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in November.
‘Iron Mike’ lost a lopsided unanimous decision, but he seemingly emerged from the fight a winner as he pocked a $20 million purse that bought him a new $13 million mansion.

Mike Tyson hits new low in heavyweight rankings
After his comeback defeat was confirmed, Mike Tyson was included in the top 1500 heavyweights.
The former number-one entered the rankings at 309, but he’s since slipped down to the 329th position.
For context, that’s 197 places below Jake Paul, who is ranked 132 at heavyweight after making his divisional debut against the youngest champion in the division’s storied history.
Tyson may be ranked lower than he’s ever been – but being in the top 350 isn’t bad for someone his age.
The 58-year-old will be proud that he managed to go the distance with a man 30 years his junior.
A rematch won’t be happening, but Tyson is certainly not short of offers to return to the ring again.
Will Mike Tyson fight again?
Tyson suggested he would fight again in the immediate aftermath of his loss to Paul.
Logan Paul reacted angrily when he was called out by one of boxing’s best-ever heavyweights.
However, Tyson has since suggested he is done with the sport that made him famous on social media.
“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” he wrote on Instagram.
“No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions.
“Lost half my blood and 25lb in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won. To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”
Since then, his son has provided an update about the fighting future of his Hall of Fame father.
“I think he’s done,” Amir Tyson told Seconds Out.
“My stepmom, she’s saying he’s done and they’re a team. That’s husband-and-wife stuff.”
