Mike Tyson revealed that he had eight blood transfusions, lost 25 pounds in the hospital and “almost died” in June, one month before his Netflix bout with Jake Paul was originally scheduled to happen and around five months before it actually unfolded Saturday night.
迈克·泰森透露,他在 6 月份接受了 8 次输血,在医院减掉了 25 磅体重,“差点就死了”,距离他原定在 Netflix 上与杰克·保罗的比赛还有一个月,距离周六晚上的比赛实际开始还有大约五个月。
“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” Tyson, 58, wrote in his first X post since Paul defeated the legendary boxer by unanimous decision. “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.
“这是一种你输了但仍然是赢家的情况,”58 岁的泰森在保罗一致判定击败这位传奇拳击手后的第一篇 X 帖子中写道。 “我很感激昨晚。不后悔最后一次上擂台。六月份我差点就死了。已输血8次。我在医院失去了一半的血液和 25 磅的体重,我必须努力恢复健康才能继续战斗,所以我赢了。
“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.”
“让我的孩子们看到我在拥挤的达拉斯牛仔体育场前与一位年龄只有我一半的天才拳击手并肩作战并完成 8 轮比赛,这是任何人都无权要求的经历。”

Saturday marked the first sanctioned fight for Tyson — who also added “thank you” and a praying hands emoji to the end of his post — since 2005, and he entered the bout with a career record of 50-6.
周六是泰森自 2005 年以来的第一场经批准的比赛,他还在帖子末尾添加了“谢谢”和祈祷之手表情符号,他以 50 胜 6 负的职业战绩参加了这场比赛。
But the health scare loomed over the fight, and Tyson appeared a step or two behind Paul for most of the fight — especially during the third round and beyond — as the 27-year-old YouTuber landed punch after punch, with Tyson only countering at a fraction of that clip.
但健康恐慌笼罩在这场比赛中,泰森在比赛的大部分时间里都落后保罗一两步,尤其是在第三轮及之后的比赛中,这位 27 岁的 YouTuber 连续出拳,而泰森只反击了该剪辑的一小部分。
Tyson sustained an ulcer flare-up and suffered a medical emergency while on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles in May, which eventually led to the fight being postponed less than a week later.
5月,泰森在从迈阿密飞往洛杉矶的航班上突发溃疡并出现医疗紧急情况,最终导致比赛在不到一周后被推迟。
“I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time,” Tyson said in a statement at the time of the postponement. “Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flareup, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover. My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will be back to my full training schedule soon.
“我要感谢世界各地的粉丝在这段时间给予我的支持和理解,”泰森在推迟时的一份声明中说道。 “不幸的是,由于我的溃疡发作,我的医生建议我减轻几周的训练,以休息和恢复。我的身体整体状况比 90 年代以来更好,我很快就会恢复完整的训练计划。
“Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good. I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year.”
“杰克·保罗,这可能为你赢得了一些时间,但最终你仍然会被淘汰并永远退出拳击界。我感谢大家的耐心,并迫不及待地想在今年晚些时候上演一场令人难忘的表演。”
That vintage night, though, did not materialize.
然而,那个复古之夜并没有实现。
The three judges each awarded the fight to Paul, turning the Netflix spectacle into a disappointment as 60 million viewers tuned in and dealt with buffering issues and then an ultimate fight where Tyson resembled a shell of the version he competed at during the prime of his career.
三位评委各自将这场比赛判给了保罗,这让 Netflix 的奇观变成了一场失望,因为 6000 万观众收看并处理缓冲问题,然后在一场终极比赛中,泰森就像他职业生涯巅峰时期参加的版本的外壳一样。
Some fans claimed that Paul “carried” Tyson through the fight and appeared to not want to knock him out, which Paul seemingly admitted during his press conference following the fight.
一些球迷声称保罗“扛着”泰森完成了比赛,并且似乎不想将他击倒,保罗在比赛后的新闻发布会上似乎承认了这一点。
“I wanted to give the fans a show,” Paul said, according to NBC News, “but I didn’t want to hurt someone that didn’t need to be hurt.”
据 NBC 新闻报道,保罗说:“我想给球迷们带来一场表演,但我不想伤害那些不需要受伤的人。”
Paul, in a reply to Tyson’s post on X, wrote, “Love you Mike. It was an honor. You’re an inspiration to us all.”
保罗在回复泰森在 X 上的帖子时写道:“爱你,迈克。这是一种荣幸。你是我们所有人的灵感来源。”
