The highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, originally scheduled for July 20, has been postponed following a medical scare that Tyson experienced.
The former heavyweight champion suffered an ulcer flare-up during a cross-country flight, prompting doctors to advise him to limit his training for the upcoming weeks.
Despite the setback, both fighters remain committed to the bout, which has been rescheduled for later this year at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The exact new date will be announced shortly. Fans who purchased tickets for the original date can either use them for the rescheduled event or receive refunds.
In a show of sportsmanship, Jake Paul expressed his support for Tyson’s health and readiness, emphasizing his desire to face Tyson at his best.
He reassured fans that the fight would be worth the wait, promising a memorable clash once it happens. Meanwhile, Tyson assured his fans of his recovery and determination to return stronger, aiming to give a performance that recalls his prime years.
