Mike Tyson didn't look impressive in his unanimous decision loss to Jake Paul on Friday, but it's apparently impressive he was in the ring at all.

The former heavyweight champion reflected on the fight via social media Saturday, saying he still won overall and that he is grateful for the experience. He then revealed he nearly died five months earlier in June, requiring eight blood transfusions to replace half his blood and losing 25 pounds while hospitalized.

Tyson's full reaction:

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won.
