Jake Paul \u201cheartbroken\u201d after Mike Tyson fight is postponed X \u2014 Jake Paul; Associated PressJake Paul told fans he was \u201cheartbroken\u201d after hearing that his boxing match vs Mike Tyson would be postponed until further notice. Paul and Tyson were originally slated to meet on July 20 in Arlington, Texas, in a match between the social media star turned pro boxer and the legendary heavyweight. However, due to health concerns surrounding Tyson, the fight will no longer take place on the scheduled date as \u2018Iron Mike\u2019 heeds medical advice to ease up on training. The former world champion suffered an ulcer flare-up during his May 27 flight from Miami to Los Angeles, which resulted in immediate concern from fans online. While Tyson tried to downplay the worries, medical professionals believe light training is best for the 57-year-old after the flare-up. According to the statement released by Most Valuable Promotions, Tyson will do minimal workouts for the next few weeks. Then, he will return to training with no limitations. As such, Paul took to social media to express his somber feelings over the postponement of his match vs Tyson. \u201cObviously, devastating news. I am heartbroken,\u201d Paul told fans. \u201cSpeechless, gutted. Like, we\u2019ve been working so hard over here. \u201cBut I do value Mike\u2019s health first and foremost \u2014 I love that guy. I have so much respect for him, and I want Mike to be healthy. \u201cI\u2019m ready whenever you are. This is too big of an opportunity. I think this fight is going to change the world.\u201d Paul has met criticism from some in the boxing community since he agreed to the fight. And following Tyson\u2019s health concerns, those comments only ramped up. However, according to Tyson himself, he\u2019s still ready to go. And he promised to knock \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 out when they finally meet in the ring. \u201cJake Paul, this may have bought you some time. But in the end, you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good,\u201d the legend said in a written statement. Now, all that fans can do is wait, as Netflix has promised a new fight date \u201cby the end of next week.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
