Jake Paul makes big change for Mike Tyson fight amid health concerns for the legendary boxer YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has cut with his usual traditions and won\u2019t draft in a backup fighter in case Mike Tyson can\u2019t go, as he\u2019s totally confident in the 58-year-old\u2019s health now. When it comes to organizing a big box office fight, plenty of hype goes into the two main fighters. However, when they might be doubts about one\u2019s health, backup fighters can be put into place \u2013 just in case. It\u2019s something Jake Paul has done over the last few years, especially following his canceled bout with Hasim Rahman Jr. The \u2018Problem Child\u2019 had \u2018Platinum\u2019 Mike Perry drafted in as a replacement for \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson when their scheduled July fight was postponed, and there has been talk of him tapping other fighters. However, with his rescheduled clash with Tyson a little over two months away, the YouTuber-turned-boxer hasn\u2019t got a backup. And that\u2019s despite the previous worries about \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike\u2019s health. \u201cI don\u2019t have concerns,\u201d Jake told TMZ Sports when asked about Mike\u2019s health. \u201cHe\u2019s doing great. He\u2019s super healthy behind the scenes and feeling great. That\u2019s what we\u2019re focused on and there\u2019s not a back-up currently.\u201d Timestamp of 1:30 As noted, there have been rumors of Jake having fighters on standby in case. The biggest of which corners former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. A fight with the Mexican legend has been mooted after the WBA said they\u2019d be \u201copen\u201d to a title fight between Cesar Chavez Jr. and Jake. If the former WBC middleweight champion doesn\u2019t take the place of Tyson come November 15, then, it could be a fight that Jake looks to take on afterwards. If not, then he\u2019s still got that deal with the PFL to look at too. Plus, he has been making mention of fighters he\u2019d like to take on inside the cage. But, for now, we\u2019re all looking forward to the fight with Tyson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
