Mike Tyson’s fight with Jake Paul has been postponed indefinitely after the heavyweight legend received a warning from medical professionals.

Tyson, 57 and Paul, 27, were due to meet at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on July 20 in the main event of a card to be broadcast on Netflix.

It was also set to feature an undisputed super lightweight title fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, with UFC star Darren Till also making his professional boxing debut on the undercard.

But the event has now been postponed until a later date.

A statement released on Friday by Paul’s promotional company MVP announced Tyson is unable to train due to an ulcer, forcing the fight to be called off.

“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,” read the statement.

“Both 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.

“The 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.”

Tyson expressed his disappointment but promised fans the fight would take place later this year

“I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time. Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flareup, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover,” he said in a statement released by MVP.

“My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will be back to my full training schedule soon. Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good.

“I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year.”

Paul, meanwhile, said he is happy to wait to face Tyson “at his best” rather than rushing through a fight.

“I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses come fight night,” added Paul.

“My fans know I don’t want to face Iron Mike at anything but his best, but let there be no mistake – when he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish.

“Paul vs Tyson will be one for the ages, and I promise to bring my best for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup.”

Fans slam Jake Paul after hearing what he said about Mike Tyson after ‘medical emergency’

Jake Paul vowed to ‘f**k up’ Mike Tyson when they fight.

Fans genuinely can’t believe what Jake Paul said after Mike Tyson suffered a ‘medical emergency’ ahead of their fight.

Tyson had a scare on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles ahead of returning to the sport against Paul on July 20.

The 57-year-old became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare and received medical attention.

“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” Tyson’s representatives said. “He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.

The boxing icon issued an update on social media as he sent a message to Paul, who himself reacted to his upcoming opponent’s medical incident as he fired a warning ahead of their summer showdown.

Speaking on his podcast, ‘The Problem Child’ insists he’s going ‘f**k up’ ‘Iron’ Mike and will make it look easy.

“I’m certain I’m going to win,” he said. “I’m gonna f**k him up.

“It might just be easy actually. He doesn’t want that smoke and it’s a pro fight now so it’s just war.

“In the most respectful way possible because I do love him

Paul’s claim, however, doesn’t sit well with fight fans online as they hit out at the YouTuber-turned-boxer especially considering Tyson’s recent scare.

One X user wrote: “Bro just gained more confidence after a medical scare.”

A second tweeted: “Of course it’s gonna be easy he’s 75 years old.”

A third added: “Why is anyone entertaining this trash.”

A fourth slammed: “Lmaoooooo why is he always picking on retired or old fighters. Bro is a coward.”

Another commented: “Oh what a hard guy. Beating up an old man with health complications.”

Tyson will make his first appearance in a pro fight since June 2005 when he suffered a defeat to Kevin McBride.

But he did come out of retirement back in November 2020 as he faced fellow great Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout.
