Mike Tyson sends a classy message to Jake Paul after $13 million mega purchase
It all began when Tyson paid tribute to two important people in his life on their birthday.
“Today marks the anniversary of two greats bdays. Cus D’Amato and Muhammad Ali. Truly blessed to have known and loved them both,” Tyson posted.
Just days after making his massive post-fight purchase, Tyson followed up with a ‘Happy Birthday’ message to his former opponent.
“Just heard [Jake Paul] also shares this date too. Happy Bday,” Tyson tweeted.
According to the Palm Beach Post, Tyson purchased the $13 million residence in an exclusive Tierra del Rey Estates area. The property includes access to a private lake and other amenities after spoiling himself after earning $30 million for the Paul fight.
Tyson’s residence is on a massive 2.7-acre lot and is close to where his daughter plays tennis. He also owns a mansion worth around $4.5 million in the Las Vegas Metropolitan area.
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul shattered records in historic boxing fight
Paul is back in the gym and preparing for his next boxing fight later this year. He’s won five consecutive fights since suffering his first loss to Tommy Fury in 2023.
On fight night, Paul vs. Tyson was the No. 1 trending topic on X and drew a 65 million concurrent streaming audience. It was also the biggest boxing gate outside of Las Vegas in United States sports history.
Tyson made his professional boxing return against Paul in his first pro appearance since a 2005 loss to Kevin McBride. He retired with a 50-7-2 professional record and is regarded as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.
Tyson won his 37 professional fights before a stunning loss to Buster Douglas in Feb. 1990. 44 of his 50 career wins were by knockout.
Tyson and Paul, weeks after their fight, are still seeing the fruits of their labor. While a rematch between them is unlikely, their lives are linked forever for their earnings inside the ring.
