The legendary boxer, who only threw 18 punches in the ring, saw the fight widely considered as 'rigged' by many. Since the match, Tyson had remained silent, but he finally broke his silence.

In an interview with Fox Sports Radio, Tyson stated, "It was a real fight," but his later confession raised questions!

Tyson admitted, 'I don’t remember much of the fight, I kind of fell into a void. I haven't rewatched the fight,' and added, 'Do you know what I remember? When I came back from the first round, Jake was doing some kind of bending move... that’s the last thing I remember.'

So, did Mike Tyson enter the ring exhausted?

Tyson responded, 'I wasn’t tired, I wasn’t sweating.' He further explained, 'I went back to the house we were staying at, left with my wife and kids, went to the after-party, and then came back.' He also shared whether he regretted his last match.

Despite the loss, Tyson said, "I'm not sorry I stepped into the ring for the last time."

He described the fight as 'one of those situations where you lose, but still win.' He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, saying, 'I’m thankful for Friday night, and I’m not sorry I stepped into the ring for the last time.'

However, the next morning, he reportedly asked his wife, "Why did I do this?" adding to the puzzling details.

The American boxing legend said, 'I hadn’t thought about it! I woke up the day after the fight and asked my wife, 'Why did I do this?' I don’t know what happened.' This raised memories of the illness that had delayed the match. Tyson had been ill a few months before the fight and had lost 55 pounds.
