Mike Tyson lost a unanimous decision to Jake Paul on Friday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight wasn’t spectacular, but no one in their right mind should have expected it to be.

.Tyson is 58 years old. While his body looked in good shape, he moved like a 58-year-old, making what he accomplished and earned more impressive. Tyson spoke to Ariel Helwani in the ring after the fight but didn’t speak during the post-fight presser. Instead, the boxing icon took to social media on Saturday to address the world.

Tyson shared some details about the medical complications he overcame to fight on Friday and further explained why their fight was postponed from the original date in July.

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” Tyson said in a social media post. “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 Cowboys stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you
