Mike Tyson has been snapped appearing bigger than he was just weeks ago following his defeat to Jake Paul back in November.
The 58-year-old had entered the clash at the AT&T Stadium hoping to roll back the years and prove that he’s still got what it takes to compete at the top.
But while Tyson did well to last the distance, the veteran struggled during the clash – with Paul cruising to victory.
Prior to the bout, which was his first professional match since his infamous defeat to Kevin McBride in 2005, Tyson left no stone unturned.

He worked tirelessly in the gym, while also giving up cannabis and mushrooms in order to boost his chances of victory.
But a snap shared by Itstyson20 on Instagram shows the veteran weeks later, looking bigger round the middle.
The picture also shows Tyson smoking cannabis again, with the heavyweight icon happily posing with the drug.
Tyson has made fortunes off a cannabis empire in his years since retiring from boxing. It is legal in 24 states in America, while it remains illegal in the United Kingdom.
Speaking after his recent defeat to Paul, meanwhile, Tyson revealed that he was feeling ‘depressed’.
The boxing legend admitted that he missed the buzz of a big fight, having spent weeks working hard.
“That fight was such a big ascent — we were so up and high, we were so excited,” he said.
“The fight’s over, boom. Wow, I’m kind of depressed a little bit. We got to get back … to living. [We were] training for it nine months.”
Immediately after the boxing match in Texas, Tyson called out Paul’s brother, Logan.
Logan looked bemused by his comments and responded by saying he would ‘kill’ Tyson if they stepped into the ring together.
Writing on social media, however, Tyson appeared to confirm his retirement.
He described his showdown with Paul as his ‘last’ and thanked fans for cheering him on as he made his comeback to the sport.
