“Iron Mike” Bites His Gloves, What Did He Say About the Defeat?

In a highly anticipated boxing match, Mike Tyson suffered a unanimous decision loss to Jake Paul. The fight ended with all three judges scoring in favor of Jake Paul: one judge gave a score of 80-72, and the other two scored it 79-73.

Mike Tyson drew attention with his unusual behavior of biting his gloves throughout the fight. This moment sparked much discussion among reporters and fans alike. Journalist Jeff Powell noted, “We must give credit to Jake Paul, he organized a fantastic event and treated his idol not only with respect but with kindness. The 31-year age gap was a huge challenge for a 58-year-old like Mike Tyson.”

After the match, Mike Tyson explained why he had been biting his gloves during the fight with Jake Paul. Tyson said, “I came here to fight. I know Jake Paul is a skilled boxer, and I know he prepared for this fight. I’m not trying to prove anything to anyone except myself. I’m just satisfied with what I can do. I had a knee injury, but there’s no excuse for that.”

Mike Tyson also revealed that biting gloves was a habit of his: “I have a habit of biting my gloves, I’m obsessed with it. I don’t think this will be my last fight, the next opponent could be his brother, Logan Paul.”

On the other hand, Jake Paul expressed great admiration for Mike Tyson: “Mike Tyson, he’s a legend. He’s the greatest to ever do this. I admire him, and we wouldn’t be here today without Mike Tyson. He’s an icon, and it’s an honor to fight him. It was as difficult as I expected. I tried to make Mike Tyson feel the pain, because I was afraid he would make me feel pain.”
