Mike Tyson took to X to share his thoughts about last night's defeat to Paul, he said: "This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. 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 25lbs 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."
Some hard-hitting words from Iron Mike, giving the world an insight into the frightening health scare he went through in June.
He also hints that his bout with Jake Paul will be the final time we see the boxing icon in the ring

Taylor lost her controversial £30MILLION bet with Jake Paul after he beat Mike Tyson.
The female boxer beat Amanda Serrano in their undisputed lightweight rematch at the AT&T Stadium.
Taylor, 38, won the clash despite many fans claiming she was gifted the result against the seven-division champion.
The pride of Ireland's interest in the evening did not come to an end after her result though.
She had made a bet with Paul that he would lose to Tyson last week.
The bet was worth the pair's purses from their respective fights.
Taylor challenged Paul by saying, "Put your money where your mouth is".
This means that if Paul had lost, he may have had to cough up his £30m winnings from his fight.
However, with Paul winning, it does mean that Taylor could be set to forfeit her £4.6m, which is the largest fight purse in women's boxing history.
It is not yet known whether or not Paul will actually force Taylor to pay up on the bet though.
Tyson calls out Logan Paul
Tyson refused to call time on his boxing career at 58 despite losing to Jake Paul last night.
He even called out Jake's brother Logan after the bout.

Tyson and Paul both immediately suspended
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul have both been suspended after their highly-anticipated bout.
The 58-year-old legend fought hard in his first professional fight since 2005 - but the man 31 years his junior was ultimately the winner.
Paul won via a unanimous decision and chose not to knock out Iron Mike in the latter stages of the contest as the veteran began to tire.
The influencer has claimed it was Tyson that pushed for the fight to be professionally sanctioned and go on their records.

This is because the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation will order them to rest.

After the fight, Serrano took a close-up photo of her gaping injury and revealed its full extent.
She said after the fight: "That's what they do. Not only my fight, but she did it with Chantelle Cameron.
"But listen, I'm a Puericwah, I'm gonna die in this ring no matter what. No matter how many cuts to my face. I'mma go until the very end.

Jake Paul admits he failed to knock out Mike Tyson ON PURPOSE
Paul claims he deliberately avoided knocking out Mike Tyson as their highly-anticipated bout failed to live up to the hype.
The 58-year-old boxing icon lost on points but went the full eight rounds against the influencer-turned-boxer 31 years his junior.
Tyson started the on the front foot before seemingly beginning to tire and fall away from round three onwards.
By the final round, few punches were thrown and stats show Paul landed just 78 across the fight.
Tyson scored even fewer, connecting with his rival just 18 times.
Asked about not going for the knockout blow, Paul said in his press conference: "There was a point where I was like he is not really engaging back.
"So I don't know if he is tired. I can just tell his age was showing a little bit.
"I just have so much respect for him and that war thing between us after he slapped me, I wanted to be aggressive, take him down and knock him out.
"But that kind of went away as the rounds went on.
"I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn't want to hurt someone that didn't need to be hurt."

The punch stats from Mike Tyson's defeat to Jake Paul made for "sad" reading.
Veteran Iron Mike, 58, started strongly enough in his Netflix boxing fight with the former YouTuber.
But he simply ran out of gas within the first few minutes of the eight-round contest.
And that was proven by his dismal performance when it came to his shots.
In the 16 minutes of action, the former undisputed heavyweight world champion landed just 18 punches - averaging just 2.25 successful hits per round.
In total, he only attempted 97, meaning he made contact with just 18 per cent.
By comparison, Paul, 27, threw a whopping 278 punches - nearly 200 more than his ageing opponent - but still only landed 78 for a success rate of 28 per cent despite his opponent barely moving.
His most explosive round came in the third when the victorious Problem Child attempted 44 punches and connected with 16 of them.
However, a woeful fifth round saw just four punches landed between the pair as the quality failed to live up to the hype and Paul refused to go for the knockout.
Just in case you missed it...
Here are some of the key highlights from last night's historic bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.

Jake Paul believes that he can take down Mike Tyson in era.
But a fan quickly reminded him why he can't.
Magic Mike
Despite his loss, Iron Mike will always go down as one of the greatest boxers in history.
And he'll always be the baddest man on the planet.
Not many can do what he did at the age of 58.

Con Man
Conor McGregor has deleted a sick post about paralysed Prichard Colon after Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson.
Many took to social media to Jake Paul's victory against Mike Tyson including McGregor.
However, the Irishman opted to make a disgusting post to suggest that Paul will fight Colon in his next fight.
McGregor wrote: "They are eyeing Prichard Colon for next opponent.
He has since deleted the horrible post from social media.
Colon is paralysed, having suffered a brain haemorrhage after his fight with Terrel Williams in 2015.
The Puerto Rican was placed into a coma for 221 days, after which he was moved from the hospital to his mother's home in Orlando, Florida.
Despite the MMA fighter removing the post, many people saw it and slammed him for it.
Katie Taylor branded a cheat
The other huge fight on the card which saw Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson was Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 2.
Katie Taylor was branded a "CHEAT" before a bloodied Amanda Serrano levelled her own accusations in Texas.
Taylor controversially retained her undisputed light-welterweight title with a unanimous decision victory on the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson undercard.
All three judges scored the fight 95-94 for Taylor - despite the Pride of Ireland suffering a point deduction.
The crowd at the AT&T Stadium in Texas booed at the result, with Serrano having suffered a gruesome cut at the end of the fourth round, which turned the fight.
Bellew the belt
Tony Bellew has claimed Jake Paul broke a rule during his win over Mike Tyson.
Before the highly-anticipated fight, it was agreed that 14oz gloves would be worn rather than 10oz ones usually worn in professional bouts.
The bigger gloves naturally slow punches down and lessen the impact of their blows, making a knockout more difficult.
"There is a huge difference in them gloves and I’m only watching from a bed."
Despite Bellew's opinion, there is no suggestion that Paul was in fact using banned gloves.
More on the suspension
Every fighter has to stay out the ring for at least seven days after a bout.
And rules state an extra that three days are added for each round fought.
With the clash going the full eight rounds, they are now both suspended for 24 days.
If Paul landed a knockout then Tyson would have faced 60 days away from the ring.
The regulations state: "Medical disqualification of a contestant is for their own safety and may be made at the recommendation of the examining physician or TDLR [Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation].
"A contestant who disagrees with a medical disqualification, medical suspension or rest period set at the discretion of a ringside physician or a disqualification or suspension set by the department may request a hearing to show proof of fitness."
