The controversial but undoubtedly very profitable boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will no longer take place on July 20th as planned. The official Netflix X account, formerly Twitter, posted on friday night that the fight would be postponed to a later date following a recent medical issue for Tyson.
Tyson was recently on board a flight heading from Miami to Los Angeles when he needed medical attention for what was reported as an ulcer outbreak 30 minutes before the plane landed. Passengers on board were delayed 25 minutes after the plane landed.
While Tyson claimed to be “feeling 100% even though I didn’t need to be to beat Jake Paul”, it turned out that the medical problem was enough to force the fight to be postponed to a later date.
“I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time,” Tyson said in an article from Netflix. “Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flare-up, I have been advised by my doctor to ease up on my training for a few weeks to rest and recover. My body is in better shape overall than it has been since the 1990s and I will be returning to my full fitness schedule. training 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 I can’t wait to put on an unforgettable performance later this year.”
The idea of the fight was heavily criticized by many as Paul, the social media superstar turned boxer, is 30 years younger than 57-year-old Tyson. Tyson looked great for his age in a 2020 exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr., but he hasn’t fought professionally since his 2005 loss to Kevin McBride.
Although the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has allowed Paul vs. Tyson to move forward as an officially licensed professional fight, the fight must feature special rules, including eight two-minute rounds rather than the standard three-minute frames of professional boxing. . Additionally, both boxers will wear 14-ounce gloves, which are larger than standard and will therefore take the power out of punches.
“I fully support postponing the event so that Mike Tyson has no excuses on fight night,” said Paul. “My fans know that I don’t want to face Iron Mike in anything other than his best, but no mistakes – when he gets in the ring with me, I’ll be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish. Tyson will be unforgettable and I promise to give my best for this once-in-a-lifetime confrontation.”
The fight is planned to take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will likely attract more attention and money than any boxing fight in recent memory. It will also be broadcast live on Netflix, marking the first time a boxing match will be shown on the streaming service.
