Mike Tyson’s son provides huge retirement update on boxing icon after Jake Paul defeat

Mike Tyson’s son thinks the veteran is ‘done’ with boxing following his recent fight against Jake Paul.

Iron Mike returned to the ring for his first professional bout since 2005 last month, with Paul beating him via unanimous decision at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.

Fans had been hoping to see Tyson roll back the years and summon the magic of old.

But his comeback failed to live up to expectations, with the heavyweight icon looking a pale imitation of the man that dominated the sport during the 1980s and 1990s.

After the fight, Tyson called out Paul’s brother Logan and said he was interested in a showdown with the YouTuber.

Yet the boxing legend’s son, Amir, has told Seconds Out that he thinks his father’s time in the sport is over.

“I think he’s done,” he said.

Amir then added: “My stepmom, she’s saying he’s done and they’re a team. That’s husband-and-wife stuff.”

Though Tyson struggled against Paul, it was still remarkable he was able to last the distance at the age of 58.

Many figures associated with the sport were unhappy that the contest was allowed to go ahead, particularly due to the huge age gap between the pair.

But both Tyson and Paul have hit back at suggestions the clash was fixed or rigged in any way.

Tyson, earlier this week, said: “It was a real fight.”

The icon also revealed that he ‘blanked out’ during the fight and that he didn’t remember large chunks of it.

“I don’t remember the fight that much, I kind of blanked out a little,” he honestly admitted.

“No I have not watched the fight … Know what I remember? Coming back from the first round and then the next thing I remember Jake was doing some kind of, I don’t know, a bow.

“And that’s the last thing I remember. I thought he was gonna hit me, I thought what the hell is he doing?”

Paul’s business manager, Nakisa Bidarian, said last month: “The only thing that bothers me is the continued kind of narrative and people saying the fight was rigged.

“How would you have seen the contract to begin with that MIke Tyson couldn’t throw an uppercut? It’s beyond lucacy.

“This was a regulated professional bout by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. And we were partners with Netflix, the biggest media company in the world, who’s a public company.

“For anyone to suggest that this was in any way a rigged fight, they’re either dumb or they’re looking for attention.”
