Mike Tyson has decided to hang up his gloves for good. The former heavyweight champion recently confirmed his retirement from boxing in an interview with Men's Health, putting an end to speculation about future fights.
Six months ago, Tyson stepped into the ring for an exhibition bout against Jake Paul. The fight broke ratings records and got fans talking about who Tyson might face next. Some even thought he'd take on Jake's brother, Logan Paul. But Tyson's family quickly put those rumors to rest, saying his fighting days were over.
Now, at 58 years old, Tyson has made it clear he's done with boxing. In his chat with Men's Health, he said:
"The only person I fight now is my accountant. Other than that, I'm just living life and right now I'm doing well."
Fans have welcomed Tyson's decision, understanding the health risks that come with boxing at his age. What looked like it might turn into a long and award-winning comeback has come to an end.
While Tyson settles into retirement, Jake Paul is gearing up for his next fight. He's got a few options on the table, including a rematch with Tommy Fury and a potential bout with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. There's also talk of him facing a lesser-known opponent. But nothing's set in stone yet.
Tyson's retirement marks the end of an era in boxing. He leaves behind a legacy as one of the most feared and respected heavyweight champions in the sport's history.
