Mike Tyson explains to Jake Paul that he bites his gloves after losing a boxing match

Mike Tyson has revealed an unusual fixation in his interview after the fight in the Dallas boxing ring, where he lost to his opponent Jake Paul.

When asked why he was so often seen biting down on his own left boxing glove, the former heavyweight champion replied: “I have a habit of biting my gloves, yes.”

Asked why, he replied, “Um, I have a biting fixation.”

Tyson infamously bit his opponent Evander Holyfield’s ear during a world title fight in 1997, a move that led to his disqualification.

Asked if he was happy with his performance against Jake Paul on Friday night, he replied: “Absolutely happy yes. “I knew he was a good fighter, he was prepared, but I came to fight.

After the fight, in which Jake Paul proved decisively victorious, landing 78 hits to Tyson’s 18 over the course of eight two-minute rounds, the fans slammed the one-sided result.

“Who next, Joe Biden” was one tweet that summed up fans’ displeasure with the contest between the 29-year-old Paul and a man twice his age.

“BREAKING: Jake Paul has challenged Jimmy Carter (age 100) to a boxing match after beating Mike Tyson (age 58),” another tweet read.

“Terrible fight all around. I didn’t expect Tyson to go crazy but he barely did anything but bite his glove,” said another.

“Watching Tyson get paid 20 million to bite a glove,” wrote another.

Friday’s match between Tyson and Paul, which was preceded by Katie Taylor Vs. Amanda Serrano 2, was the biggest boxing gate outside of Las Vegas in US history, surpassing $17.8 million. More than 70,000 attended the match.
