The fight between legendary super heavyweight Mike Tyson and boxing influencer Jake Paul, which was scheduled for July 20 in Arlington, Texas, has been postponed. The new date will be announced next week.
According to Most Valuable Promotions, the reason was the deteriorating health of the 57-year-old veteran.
Recall that a few days ago, the former world heavyweight champion became ill during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. The American had an exacerbation of an ulcer.
"Unfortunately, the bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, which everyone is so looking forward to, has been postponed. After consulting with medics, Tyson was recommended minimal physical activity for the next few weeks, only after that he will be able to return to full training. Mike and Jake came to the conclusion that they both need equal conditions to approach the fight in good shape. A new date for the fight will be announced on June 7," MVP said in a statement.
