Mike Tyson hasn't shut the door on stepping back into the ring after falling to Jake Paul on Friday night, but Amir Khan believes "Iron Mike" will hang up the gloves for good this time.
Tyson returned to professional boxing after nearly two decades of retirement to take on Paul, the social media star-turned-boxer who his 31 years younger than the "Baddest Man on the Planet." The fight went as expected for a 58-year-old taking on a 27-year-old, regardless of their respective pedigrees, as Tyson was clearly second best for all eight rounds and struggled for mobility through the contest.
With such a thorough domination by Paul, it came as some surprise that Tyson suggested in the post-fight interview that he could continue in his boxing career, although former unified light welterweight champion Khan believes Tyson was just caught up in the moment.

"That was more of the adrenaline, and it was fight talk," Khan told New Zealand Daily. "But he needs to stop and hang the gloves up he will end up getting hurt.
"He’s only getting older and slower; his reaction time is slowing down, and you could see how he was getting caught. It seems like he couldn’t get his shots off either."
