Their most recent public encounter took place at a high-profile bout at AT&T Stadium in Texas, where Jake Paul secured an easy victory over 58-year-old Tyson in an eight-round match broadcast live on Netflix.

It was Tyson's first professional fight in 19 years and caused a huge controversy due to the age difference between Paul and the boxing star.

“And that’s the last thing I remember,” he added, referring to the last few seconds of the final round.
