Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Postponed from July 20 to Q4 Due to Tyson's Ulcer Flare-Up

Jun 1, 2024, 12:30 AM

The highly anticipated boxing match between YouTuber Jake Paul and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, initially scheduled for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has been postponed. The postponement is due to an ulcer flare-up suffered by Tyson, which occurred during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. Medical professionals have recommended that Tyson engage in minimal training for the next few weeks. The new date for the fight will be announced on June 7, with the rescheduled bout expected to take place in Q4 of this year. Jake Paul expressed his support for the postponement, emphasizing that he wants Tyson to be at his best for the fight. In the meantime, Paul has called out KSI to replace Tyson for the July 20 bout. Additionally, Logan Paul has offered to step in as a replacement opponent for his brother. The postponement is a significant setback for Netflix, which was set to debut in combat sports with this event. The delay also affects other fighters on the undercard, including Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, who were scheduled to fight on the same card. The cancellation follows the earlier disruption of the Tim Tszyu vs. Vergil Ortiz fight.
