**Mike Tyson: Fighting for Himself, Not the World**

Mike Tyson, the legendary boxer, opened up about his recent exhibition fight with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Addressing critics, Tyson made it clear that his decision to step back into the ring was personal, not to prove anything to the world.

“I only accepted that match with Jake Paul to prove to myself that at 58, I can still make over $20 million in a few minutes,” Tyson said.

Tyson emphasized that he doesn’t seek approval from others. “I didn’t prove nothing to anybody; I only did it to myself. You can criticize me, but I’m not one of those guys that live to please the world,” he stated.

The boxing icon reflected on his financial motivations, dismissing public opinion about his choices. “I’m just happy with what I can do because that’s the only way I can afford my bills. And none of y’all who expected me to go out of my way to please you is gonna go out of your own way to pay my bills,” he added.

For Tyson, the fight wasn’t about glory or fame—it was a testament to his enduring ability to succeed on his own terms. “I’m just happy that even at 58 years old, I can still make $20 million in a few minutes.”
