Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Boxing Match Postponed Due to Tyson's Ulcer Flare-Up

The highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, originally scheduled for July 20, has been postponed following Tyson's recent ulcer flare-up. The announcement was made by Netflix, which is broadcasting the event, stating that Tyson's medical condition has limited his ability to train fully for the next few weeks.

In a statement, Netflix said, "Unfortunately Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will not face-off on July 20 as planned. Tyson's recent ulcer flare up has limited his ability to train fully for the next few weeks." The fight is expected to be rescheduled for later this year once Tyson can resume full training without limitations.

Mike Tyson, 57, experienced the ulcer flare-up during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, which led to a medical emergency. Tyson's representatives have stated that he is recovering well and is expected to return to full training soon. Tyson expressed his appreciation to his fans for their understanding and support during this time.

Tyson assured his fans, "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."

Jake Paul, 27, responded to the postponement, stating, "I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses come fight night. My fans know I don’t want to face Iron Mike at anything but his best, but let there be no mistake – when he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish."

The fight, which was to be held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will be rescheduled once Tyson is able to train without any limitations. Both fighters have agreed that postponing the match is the best course of action to ensure they have equal time to prepare and compete at their highest level.

Mike Tyson, a Hall of Famer with a record of 50-6-2 (44 KO) in 58 career professional fights, is looking forward to getting back into the ring. Jake Paul, who has a record of 9-1 in 10 professional boxing matches, is eager to face Tyson in what promises to be a highly publicized event.

The new date for the boxing match is expected to be announced by June 7. Fans are eagerly awaiting the rescheduled fight, which will be streamed on Netflix.
