Mike Tyson spent the prize money from his fight with Jake Paul in November buying a $13 million mansion on an exclusive Florida estate.
The 58-year-old boxing legend returned to the ring at AT&T Stadium in Texas for an eight-round fight with Paul, 30 years his junior, in Netflix's first live boxing event.
Despite losing the 16-minute replay fest and the Netflix stream being marred by glitches before the fight, Tyson reportedly pocketed $20 million for his return to the ring.
Months later, The Mirror reported that a special warranty deed confirmed Tyson as the new owner of the Florida property and cited his representative, Joseph Jonathan Schneider, about the purchase.
'This has been a successful transaction in which all parties demonstrated professionalism and collaboration. “The Tyson family has been a valued customer and friend for many years and it has been a pleasure to work with them,” Schneider said.
The special bond was filed on Jan. 13 and lists the names of Tyson and his wife, Lahika. It also lists the final sale date for the 2.7-acre lot as January 8.

Tyson indicated that the fight with Jake Paul would be the final chapter of his boxing career given the physical and emotional challenges he faced upon returning to the ring.
“This is one of those situations where you lost but you still win,” Tyson wrote on X after the fight. 'I don't regret going into the ring for the last time. I almost died in June.

Tyson maintained a 58-6 record in his professional career with 44 knockouts before retiring in 2005. He competed in a 2020 exhibition against Roy Jones before preparing to fight Paul last year.
