MIKE TYSON splashed almost his entire earnings from the controversial boxing bout against Jake Paul on a new mansion.
Tyson, 58, returned to the ring for a professional bout for the first time since his retirement in 2005 to lock horns with the much younger Paul, 27, in November.

“The Tyson family has been a valued client and friend for many years, and it’s been a pleasure working with them.”
Tyson isn’t expected to return to the ring any time soon after his shock comeback.
Paul received intense criticism as he’s only ever faced one active boxer in Tommy Fury, who beat him, and instead prefers to share the ring with overaged legends or non-boxers.
