The eagerly awaited fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has been rescheduled after an initial delay. Tyson, who had been scheduled to fight Paul on July 20, experienced a flight scare while traveling from Miami to Los Angeles on May 26. This scare required Tyson to seek medical attention and rest, delaying the fight. Doctors advised him not to train for a few weeks due to an ulcer flare-up.
A statement from Tyson’s team clarified, “During 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,” as reported by ESPN.
