The highly-anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has been postponed after Tyson fell ill on a flight last weekend. The fight was scheduled to take place on 20 July in Arlington, Texas, but has been delayed due to Tyson’s ulcer problems. While flying from Miami to Los Angeles, Tyson experienced a flare-up of his ulcer, prompting medical professionals to recommend minimal to light training for the next few weeks before returning to full training with no limitations.
Jake Paul, who has gained notoriety in the prizefighting world by taking on journeyman boxers and mixed martial artists, has expressed support for the postponement. He stated that he wants to face Tyson at his best and is ready for a sensational finish. The new date for the fight will be announced by Friday 7 June.
Tyson, who hasn’t fought professionally since 2005, has been training regularly and expressed confidence in his physical shape, promising an unforgettable performance later this year. The match will be aired live on Netflix, marking the first time the streaming service will broadcast a boxing event.
Despite the delay in the Tyson fight, Paul remains focused on claiming victory and establishing himself as a force in the boxing world.
