However, those plans have been delayed due to medical concerns surrounding Tyson. During Tyson\u2019s May 27 flight from Miami to Los Angeles, he became nauseous and dizzy, leading to a brief 30-minute delay as the 57-year-old fighter was tended to. In the aftermath, Tyson and Paul shot down rumors of the bout getting pushed back\u2026 but only a few days later, Most Valuable Promotions announced that it would be postponed. \u201cThe upcoming, highly-anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will unfortunately be postponed,\u201d MVP rep Liz Keller said in a written statement to fans. \u201cDuring a follow-up consultation on Thursday with medical professionals on his recent ulcer flare-up, the recommendation is for Mike Tyson to do minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations. \u201cBoth Mike and Jake are in agreement that it is only fair to ensure that both athletes have equal training time to prepare for this important match and are able to compete at the highest level. \u201cThe health and well-being of athletes is our top priority, and we fully support Mike in taking the necessary time to allow him to perform at the level he expects of himself. \u201cMike is expected to return to his full training schedule in the coming weeks and is eager to get back in the ring. \u201cMVP anticipates rescheduling the match to later this year at AT&T Stadium, and we look forward to an exciting and well-prepared contest between these two exceptional athletes. \u201cThe new date of the fight will be announced by next Friday, June 7th.\u201d Also included in the statement was an apology from Tyson to his fans as he promised to put Paul \u201cout of boxing for good\u201d when they meet in the ring. \u201cI want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time,\u201d the prolific boxer said. \u201cUnfortunately, due to my ulcer flare-up, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover. \u201cMy body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s, and I will be back to my full training schedule soon. \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. \u201cI appreciate everyone\u2019s patience and can\u2019t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year.\u201d His opponent weighed in as well, with Paul backing the decision to postpone the fight, saying: \u201cI fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses come fight night. \u201cMy fans know I don\u2019t want to face \u2018Iron Mike\u2019 at anything but his best, but let there be no mistake \u2013 when he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish. \u201cPaul vs Tyson will be one for the ages, and I promise to bring my best for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup.\u201d It is unclear when the new date will be, as MVP announced that an official rescheduling of the event will occur by June 7. Netflix, who plans to stream the match to its worldwide audience, revealed on X that fans should \u201cstay tuned for the new fight date to be announced by the end of next week.\u201d Paul later revealed that Tyson wants to reschedule the fight for \u201cQ4 of this year,\u201d so the new date should fall between October and December. Until Netflix confirms a date, fans must wait for Tyson, a former world champion, to take the ring against Paul, the social media star turned boxer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
