In a surprising turn of events, the highly-anticipated fight between boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTube sensation Jake Paul has been postponed. The 57-year-old Tyson fell ill on a flight last weekend, causing concern among fans and organizers.

Tyson and Paul have revealed that they will announce a new fight date next week. The originally scheduled bout was set to take place on July 20 in Arlington, Texas. However, Tyson's health scare has forced a reshuffling of plans.

During the final hour of a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, Tyson began experiencing symptoms of nausea and dizziness. The plane made an emergency landing, and first responders quickly attended to the former heavyweight champion. Tyson's camp later attributed the episode to an ulcer problem.

Following a follow-up consultation with medical professionals regarding his recent ulcer flare-up, Tyson has been advised to engage in minimal to light training for the next few weeks. He will then gradually return to full training with no limitations, according to a statement from the fight's promoters.

Despite not having fought professionally since June 2005, Tyson has remained dedicated to his training regimen. He delighted fans with an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in Los Angeles last November. In a statement, Tyson expressed confidence in his physical condition, stating, "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."

The authorities in Texas have officially sanctioned the Tyson-Paul fight as a legitimate bout. It is set to consist of eight 2-minute rounds, with unusually heavy gloves. Tyson, who will turn 58 before the fight, and Paul stand to experience a massive payday from the event, which was originally planned to be streamed on Netflix.

Fans who have already purchased tickets for the fight at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium can breathe a sigh of relief. Promoters have confirmed that these tickets will be honored on the new fight date, which is expected to be held in Arlington as well.

Jake Paul, 27, has made a name for himself as a YouTube star turned prizefighter. Mostly taking on mixed martial artists and journeymen boxers, Paul has enjoyed a successful boxing career. Expressing his support for the postponement, Paul stated, "I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses come fight night. When he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my victory with a sensational finish."

As anticipation builds for the rescheduled fight, fans eagerly await the announcement of the new date. In the meantime, Tyson will focus on his recovery and returning to peak condition, ensuring an unforgettable performance later this year.
