Mike Tyson and Jake Paul's Postponed Boxing Match May Take Place in October

The highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, initially scheduled for July 20, has been postponed as a result of Tyson's recent medical issue. According to Netflix, Tyson's ulcer flare-up has limited his ability to train fully for the next few weeks.

Tyson experienced a medical emergency on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles last Saturday, where he suffered an ulcer flare-up and began feeling nauseous. His representatives confirmed that he is "doing great" after the scare and is appreciative of the medical staff who helped him.

Mike Tyson expressed his appreciation to his fans for their patience and understanding, stating: "I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time. Unfortunately, because of my ulcer flareup, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover.

The fight will be rescheduled for a date later this year, with both fighters having equal time to prepare for the matchup. Netflix announced that a new fight date will be revealed by the end of next week.

Following the news, Jake Paul took to X (formerly Twitter) to tease a new boxing opponent, suggesting a fight with KSI in February. Paul tweeted: "I just gave KSI and his forehead the opportunity again for July. He said he's fighting in August. Cool. Im fighting in October/November. February it is, 200 lbs, MSG, NYC."

Tyson also took a jab at Jake Paul, saying: "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."

In the meantime, Logan Paul, Jake's brother, has offered to step in and fight Jake, posting an image of the brothers squaring up to each other with the caption, "So Mike Tyson's out? I'll step in and we can settle this once and for all."

The exact date for the rescheduled Tyson vs Paul fight is expected to be announced on June 7. Both fighters and their fans are eagerly awaiting the new date to see if the match will indeed take place in October.
