Mike Tyson has postponed his highly-anticipated boxing match with Jake Paul after falling ill on a flight last weekend.
The boxing veteran was scheduled to face ex-YouTuber Paul, 27, in the ring on 20 July in Arlington, Texas.
However, this has now been postponed after Tyson suffered ulcer problems while flying from Miami to Los Angeles last Sunday.
The fight’s promoter said in a statement: “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.”
The fight will be aired live on Netflix, in a first for the streaming service. The new date will be announced by Friday 7 June.
Tyson hasn’t fought professionally since 2005, though he has continued to train regularly for several years.
In November 2020, he fought Roy Jones Jr in an entertainment exhibition match.
