Mike Tyson promised to knock out Jake Paul after postponing their fight following his medical emergency
Tyson, 57, announced on Friday, May 31, that he will have to postpone his July 20 match with Paul, 27, after he suffered an ulcer flareup earlier this month.
A new fight date will be announced on June 7, with the original location of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, still set as the intended location. As previously announced, the pair will fight for eight two-minute rounds and wear 14-ounce gloves — but neither will wear headgear. The match was expected to air live on Netflix, but it has not been confirmed if the streamer will pick up the new date.
After the announcement, Tyson took time to thank his fans for their “support and understanding” while he recovers. “Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone’s screens,” an eyewitness told the outlet.
