Mike Tyson-Jake Paul boxing match postponed after Tyson's recent medical scare

Jun 1, 2024

The boxing match between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and social media influencer Jake Paul has been postponed from its original July 20 date, Paul's Most Valuable Promotions announced Friday.

The news comes days after the 57-year-old Tyson was reported to have suffered a medical scare on a plane, later identified as an ulcer flare-up. While Tyson tweeted that he felt 100% in the aftermath, he was advised in a follow-up consultation to do only minimal to light training over the next few weeks.

Tyson and Paul reportedly agreed to push back the fight, set to be streamed on Netflix, to ensure an even playing field.
