Mike Tyson purchases $13 million luxury mansion in Florida after Jake Paul defeat
Mike Tyson, the former undisputed heavyweight champion, is embracing life beyond the boxing ring with a lavish $13 million property purchase in Delray Beach, Florida.
The move comes two months after his high-profile defeat to Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium, a fight that marked the 58-year-old’s farewell to professional boxing.
Tyson’s November 15 bout drew a global audience, with 80,000 fans packing the stadium and 60 million tuning in on Netflix. Despite losing in a unanimous decision to Paul, Tyson described the event as a personal victory, having overcome significant health challenges to step into the ring.
“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” Tyson shared online, referencing his recovery from a severe ulcer that delayed the fight. “I almost died in June. To have my children see me stand toe to toe with a fighter half my age is an experience no man has the right to ask for.”
The newly acquired Tierra del Rey Estates mansion, finalized on January 8, boasts 12,000 square feet of living space, including six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a private lake, and an 80-foot pool and spa. Additional amenities include a built-in gym, a four-car garage, and expansive grounds offering privacy and tranquility.
Tyson’s wife, Lakiha “Kiki” Tyson, was also listed on the property deed, reflecting their long-standing partnership. The estate is part of an exclusive community designed to offer security and luxury, featuring private access gates and facilities for equestrian and recreational pursuits.
While Tyson’s defeat to Paul marked the end of his professional career, it also broke records as the first major boxing event streamed live on Netflix, showcasing the enduring appeal of the boxing icon. Tyson, who reportedly earned $20 million from the fight, has ensured his financial security and that of his family, reinforcing his legacy as a fighter both in and out of the ring.
