The highly anticipated boxing fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been postponed today due to health constraints and doctor’s advice given to Tyson. Netflix has confirmed a revised date for the bout will be announced as early as next week.
The fight, which was to take place in late July, will now be pushed back according to an official announcement from the Netflix X (formerly Twitter) account. “I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time,” Tyson said in a statement to Netflix publication Tudum. “Unfortunately, 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,” he added Tyson, highlighting the seriousness of his health condition which will stop his training for a few days.
