In a surprising turn of events, the upcoming boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, scheduled for July 20, has been postponed. This decision came after Tyson experienced a health issue during a flight from Los Angeles to Miami, which required immediate medical attention on Sunday.

Initially, it seemed that Tyson's condition would not affect the highly-anticipated fight. However, a recent health checkup has revealed a need for precautionary measures. According to an official statement, during a follow-up consultation on Thursday concerning Tyson's recent ulcer flare-up, medical professionals have recommended that Tyson engage in minimal to light training in the coming weeks, followed by a full return to training without limitations.

As a result, a new date for the fight is expected to be announced on June 7, with AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas remaining the desired location. Fans around the world have shown their understanding and support during this challenging time.

Tyson, in a statement addressing the situation, expressed gratitude to his fans for their patience. He acknowledged the need to rest and recover due to his ulcer flare-up, but assured everyone that his body is in better shape than it has been since the 1990s. Tyson also confidently stated that despite the delay, he will ultimately knock Jake Paul out and retire him from boxing, promising an unforgettable performance later this year.

The scheduled bout between Tyson and Paul was sanctioned as a professional fight consisting of eight two-minute rounds, with 14-ounce gloves. Marking a significant age gap in professional boxing history, Tyson turning 58 on June 30 and Paul being 27, the fight garnered immense attention from boxing enthusiasts worldwide.

Moreover, fans were eager to witness the match as it was planned to be livestreamed on Netflix, allowing a wider audience to be part of this epic showdown. Jake Paul, known for his YouTube success and recent venture into boxing, expressed his full support for the decision to postpone the event to ensure Tyson's readiness on fight night. He assured his fans that when he steps into the ring with Tyson, he will be ready to claim his victory with a sensational finish.

While the new date for the highly-anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is yet to be confirmed, fans can expect an electrifying and historic event once it takes place.
