Jake Paul & Mike Tyson face last-minute fight change due to legend\u2019s health YouTube: FLAGRANT \/ Instagram: miketysonJake Paul\u2019s fight with Mike Tyson could face an extremely last-minute change due to the timing of the boxing legend\u2019s pre-fight health checks. When Jake Paul and Mike Tyson first announced that they would be fighting, there was plenty of skepticism. The biggest issue between the pair is the age difference \u2013 a massive 31-year gap \u2013 as Tyson is 58 and Paul is 27. With Tyson approaching his twilight years, and having not boxed since 2020, many critics have worried about his health. Those worries were only increased when \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike suffered an ulcer flare-up during a cross-country flight across the United States. That originally scheduled July 20 event was postponed and rearranged for November 15. The heavyweight boxing legend has been in training camp for a few weeks, suggesting he\u2019s in good shape. Despite there being belief on both sides, some skepticism remains about the fight. In fact, according to World Boxing News, the results of Tyson\u2019s pre-fight checks won\u2019t be known by the Texas Department of License and Regulation until November 14 \u2013 the day before the fight. As per a set of WBN reports, Netflix and other event organizers harbor concerns about Tyson\u2019s health, and he\u2019s set to undergo more rigorous checks than other boxers. Should he present issues in those checks, the fight would likely be changed to an exhibition instead of professional rules. There is noted confidence on Jake\u2019s side that everything goes as planned. The \u2018Problem Child\u2019 has yet to draft in a backup fighter as he has done for previous clashes. Rumors have swirled that, if he did need a backup, former WBC champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. could be an option. The WBA said they are \u201copen\u201d to some sort of title fight between the two. So, that would be an interesting fallback option for the YouTuber-turned-boxer. He has also suggested rule changes around the length of the clash, including taking it up to a 10-round fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
