Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has shared the details of a stomach ulcer attack he experienced at the end of May, which led to the postponement of his fight against Jake Paul from July to November of this year.
I asked the doctor, 'Am I going to die?' I lost 25 pounds in 11 days. Couldn't eat. Only liquids. I had, like, eight blood transfusions. The doctor said I lost half my ♛blood. I almost died.
