Mike Tyson open to return in the ring after humbling defeat to Jake Paul

Former world champion beaten in Texas mismatch
Paul praises 58-year-old as ‘the greatest to ever do it’

After Mike Tyson’s first professional boxing match in nearly 20 years proved little more than a high-profile mismatch on Friday night, the former undisputed heavyweight champion expressed satisfaction with his performance and hinted that he may stay unretired.

Tyson lost an eight-round unanimous decision at AT&T Stadium to the YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a fight streamed globally to Netflix’s 280 million subscribers. The 58-year-old managed to win just two rounds of the 24 across the three judges’ scorecards, losing by scores of 80-72 and 79-73 (twice) but finishing the proceedings on his feet and remaining unbowed.
