Mike Tyson is feeling the love after returning to the ring at 58 years old.

The former undisputed heavyweight world champion managed to go the eight-round distance with Jake Paul, who is 31 years his junior, when they clashed at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday night.


‘Iron Mike’ has been inundated with positive messages after fighting professionally for the first time since Kevin McBride made him quit in 2005.

Now he’s issued a very brief social media statement to thank everyone who has sent good vibes his way.

On Sunday, the popular streaming service said, ‘We all bow down to Mike Tyson’ in an Instagram post.

Tyson shared it to his story alongside a caption, which read: “Truly grateful for all the love.”

The boxing fan favorite had already issued a much longer statement addressing his loss to Paul and the fact he ‘almost died’ when he pulled out of their original fight date earlier this year.

“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” Tyson wrote on X. “I’m grateful for last night.
“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
