‘Iron Mike’ has provided a health update two months on from Jake Paul bout.
The former heavyweight champion went head-to-head with Paul aged 58 as the two met at the AT&T Stadium in Texas in November.
Paul was the winner via unanimous decision, as Tyson made his return to the boxing ring after 19 years. Stepping back into the sport, Tyson was even given a new official ranking as he put on the gloves again.
Their bout would originally be canceled due to health concerns on the side of the veteran, however, they would eventually meet in November of last year.
However, despite being declared fit to fight Paul, Tyson has provided a somewhat concerning health update two months after the bout.
