Tyson’s journey to the ring that night was nothing short of miraculous. “I almost died in June,” he revealed, providing an intimate look at his recent health struggles. “Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in the hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight, so I won.”

His words reflect not just a physical triumph but an emotional one as well. Tyson emphasized the significance of the moment for his family, particularly his children, who watched him go toe to toe with Paul.
