The boxing match between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has been postponed after a recent ulcer flare-up that left Tyson dizzy on a plane, promoters said Friday. The fight had been scheduled for July 20. Tyson, 57, felt nauseous and dizzy on a Miami-to-Los Angeles flight Sunday, and his representatives blamed it on the ulcer.
Tyson in a statement distributed by the promoter got in some trash talk to Paul, in true boxing fashion. '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,' he said. '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,' Tyson said. 'I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year.
