In a surprising turn of events, the highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been postponed. The fight was originally scheduled to take place on July 20 and was set to be streamed on Netflix, which was seen as a valuable dry run before the streaming platform broadcasts NFL games on Christmas.

The official announcement of the fight's postponement came on Friday, revealing that Tyson had recently experienced a medical issue attributed to an ulcer during a flight. As a result, doctors have advised him to engage in minimal-to-light training over the next few weeks, allowing him time to rest and recover before returning to full training.

A new date for the Paul-Tyson showdown is expected to be announced on Friday, June 7. While this delay may have given Jake Paul some breathing room, Tyson made it clear that he is confident in his ability to secure victory once the fight eventually takes place.

Tyson, expressing gratitude for his fans' support and understanding, stated, "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. I appreciate everyone's patience and can't wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year."

Jake Paul stood by the decision to postpone the fight, mentioning that he wants to face Tyson at his best. He asserted, "When he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my 'W' with a sensational finish. Paul vs. Tyson will be one for the ages, and I promise to bring my best for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup."

The venue for the fight is set to be at AT&T Stadium. However, potential conflicts may arise with the arrival of the football season, including Dallas Cowboys home games. Organizers are likely taking these factors into consideration as they determine the rescheduled date for the fight.

As fans eagerly await the new fight date announcement, the anticipation continues to build for a clash that promises electrifying boxing action between Jake Paul and the boxing legend, Mike Tyson.
