Iron Mike Tyson Vs. Jake Paul Postponed After Tyson’s Ulcer Emergency

Mike Tyson‘s anticipated fight against Jake Paul has been postponed due to the veteran athlete’s health status. The two were set to face off on July 20 at The AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys, with the fight live-streaming on Netflix. A secondary date is set to be announced later this week, per ESPN, with the football stadium remaining the desired location. “During a follow up consultation on Thursday with medical professionals on his recent ulcer flare up, the recommendation is for Mike Tyson to do minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations,” detailed a statement regarding the delay. The news comes after Tyson required medical attention as a result of becoming “nauseous and dizzy” on a flight last month. Additionally, boxer Deontay Wilder has publicly shared concern regarding Tyson’s health ahead of the matchup. “I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time. Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flareup, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover,” explained Iron Mike. “My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will be back to my full training schedule soon. Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end, you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good. I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year.
