Veteran British journalist Piers Morgan lauded Tyson for his courage and spirit, writing:

"Prime Mike Tyson would've destroyed Jake Paul in 90 seconds. A 58-year-old Tyson went eight rounds against a much fitter and very capable boxer half his age. Mock him all you like, but Mike's got the heart of a lion, balls of steel, and will always be an absolute legend."
