Mike Tyson is planning to get a new tattoo after his fight with Jake Paul.
The former heavyweight champion, 58, went up against Disney Channel star Jake Paul, 27, in a highly anticipated fight.
Paul accumulated more points and left the ring as the winner. The fight was a long time coming for boxing fans, who have spent months waiting for the ‘It’s Everyday Bro’ performer to fight.

The pair fought at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and the bout streamed on Netflix for viewers across the globe.
Fans are now eager to find out what’s next for both Tyson and Paul, especially because they’re now banned from fighting for a specific length of time. Tyson, however, has revealed what he plans to do and it involves ink.
“I’m thinking about some tattoos,” Tyson told The New York Post in the hours before the fight.
“I think I just want to do my face, my whole face.”

Tyson already has a distinctive design around his left eye and cheek, which he got in 2003, but he is apparently planning to get even more.
When asked about his next facial tattoo, the boxer teased: “I’m not going to tell you, but it’s going to be interesting.”
Both men talked a big game in the run-up to the event, with Paul going as far as to claim Tyson 'must die', while Tyson has made clear that he's 'not intimidated or afraid' of Paul.

Despite Paul’s victory, Tyson doesn't think last night's defeat will be his last time in the ring.
When asked if that would be the case, Tyson said after his historic loss: "I don’t know. It depends on the situation.
“I don’t think so," he doubled down.
He went on to praise Paul's performance and hailed him as a 'good fighter'.

"I didn’t prove nothing to anyone, just myself," Tyson continued.
"I’m not one of these guys who goes out to please the world, I’m just happy with what I can do."
According to USA Today, Tyson will be making millions despite the loss, which means he’ll have lots of money to pay for his next facial tattoo.
He will reportedly make $20 million from the fight, according to Tyson's friend and former UFC champion, Henry Cejudo.

Meanwhile, Paul teased his supposed fee during a news conference promoting the fight in August.
The social media personality said he's 'here to make $40 million and knock out a legend.'
