Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson still in doubt as Netflix reportedly concerned for Tyson\u2019s health NetflixJake Paul vs Mike Tyson is reportedly still on the ropes despite the boxing legend saying to \u201cbet your life\u201d on it happening. Ever since Jake Paul and Mike Tyson announced that they would be fighting, things have been a little rocky. \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike suffered an ulcer flare-up prior to the original July 20 fight date, forcing him to pull out. That injury was just another avenue of criticism for the fight too, with many critics calling out the age difference between the two fighters. Never mind how active Jake has been compared to the heavyweight legend over the last few years. Despite all that, Tyson has routinely stated his confidence about stepping back into the ring. He\u2019s shouted down a number of critics, saying that he feels in great shape and is going to add Jake to his laundry list of knockouts. The fight has been labeled an exhibition at times, and while both fighters have said they want it to be a competitive bout, that classification is seemingly on the ropes. According to WorldBoxingNews, Tyson is likely to face a more rigorous set of pre-fight health checks than normal. According to their report, the 58-year-old has \u201cmuch to prove to convince\u201d organizers about the fight. \u201cTDLR is aware of media reports regarding an episode involving Mr. Tyson. At present, Mr. Tyson and Mr. Paul have met the medical requirements for this event,\u201d Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation communications manager Tela Mange told WBN. \u201cBefore the event, TDLR will conduct pre-fight physicals to ensure the health of both fighters.\u201d As noted, Tyson is supremely confident that the fight will go ahead. \u201cBet your life on it,\u201d he told FOX40 News. \u201cI\u2019m just looking forward to this. This is something that I would say ignites me. It just gives me a life for myself.\u201d Jake has also confirmed that he doesn\u2019t have a backup fighter in place this time either, as he believes Mike will make it to fight night. However, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
