The highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been postponed following a medical emergency for Tyson. Most Valuable Promotions, Paul's company, made the announcement.

Paul expressed his disappointment in a video on X, saying he was "heartbroken" but willing to fight Tyson when he's healthy. 

According to the New York Post, Tyson, 57, suffered an ulcer flare-up that made him nauseous and dizzy just before a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. Tyson's representatives confirmed he is now "doing great."

Tyson, feeling better, said, "I want to thank my fans for their support. My doctor advised me to rest due to my ulcer flare-up. My body is in great shape, and I’ll be back to training soon. 

Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but you'll still be knocked out. I appreciate everyone's patience and can't wait to deliver a great performance later this year."


Paul added, "I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses. I want to face Iron Mike at his best. Paul vs. Tyson will be a historic fight, and I promise to bring my best."


The fight was set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. A new date will be announced on June 7.


Paul, a former YouTube star turned boxer, has a 9-1 professional record with six knockouts. Tyson, a legendary boxer, was the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990, finishing his career with a 50-6 record.

Bronny James Joins LeBron With Lakers, Making NBA History As Father-Son Duo

Image
Photo: Instagram/Bronny James Bronny James will join his father, LeBron James , on the Los Angeles Lakers next season, marking the first active father-son duo in NBA history. This historic moment was made possible by a series of collective efforts from Bronny, LeBron, the Lakers, and the other 29 NBA teams. The other teams in the NBA passed on selecting Bronny in the 2024 NBA Draft, allowing the Lakers to pick him at No. 55. LeBron’s incredible 21-year career and Bronny’s impressive high school performance also made this possible. Bronny, who played at Sierra Canyon in Los Angeles and then at USC , had a challenging year due to a congenital heart defect but still showed enough potential to be drafted. Although his college stats were modest, he impressed scouts with his skills and basketball IQ. Photo: Instagram/Bronny James Bronny may start the season in the NBA G League, but he is expected to join his father on the court at some point. Lakers GM Rob Pelinka praised Bronny’s characte

LeBron James Stays With Lakers, But Pay Cut Rumors Persist

Image
Photo: Instagram/LeBron James On Wednesday morning, it was announced that LeBron James has signed a two-year maximum contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. This deal includes a player option for the second year, effectively allowing LeBron to reassess his future with the team each season. Earlier speculation suggested that LeBron might take a pay cut to help the Lakers add more players through trades or exceptions. However, with this full max contract, the Lakers are now about $1.2 million over the "second apron," a financial threshold that imposes strict limits on team spending and player additions. Sources say the Lakers and LeBron’s team are discussing the possibility of reducing his two-year, $104 million contract to stay under this threshold. Crossing the $188.9 million mark would restrict the Lakers' ability to make trades and add players during the season.

Shaq Disagrees With Shannon Sharpe's Ranking of Wilt Chamberlain

Image
Photo: Instagram/Shaquille O'Neal Shaquille O'Neal doesn't agree with Shannon Sharpe ranking Wilt Chamberlain as the third-best center of all time. On a recent episode of his podcast, Shaq responded to Sharpe's list, which placed Shaq as the third-greatest center. Shaq usually dismisses Sharpe's basketball opinions because Sharpe is a former football player, not a basketball expert. However, Shaq took this ranking seriously and made his case for being ranked ahead of Wilt Chamberlain. Shaq pointed out that while Wilt averaged 50 points per game in a season, he only won two championships. "The ultimate stat you're supposed to look at is championships," Shaq said. He also mentioned how injuries prevented him from surpassing Wilt in total points scored. Photo: Instagram/Shaquille O'Neal Shaq was also surprised that Bill Russell was ranked two places below Wilt despite beating him in two NBA Finals and eliminating him five times in the conference fin

Last year, Crawford made history by defeating Errol Spence Jr. in a much-anticipated fight. Many thought the match would be even, but Crawford dominated and won in the ninth round. This victory made him the first undisputed champion in two weight divisions during the four-belt era. Now, Crawford has his eyes on Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez , the super-middleweight champion. To fight Canelo, Crawford would need to move up three weight classes, but he’s confident he can handle it. Photo: Instagram/Terence Crawford On the Earn Your Leisure podcast, Crawford said the only person who can beat him is himself. "My mindset is always, win at all costs.  Make sure I'm in top shape and prepared for whatever the opponent brings. I believe that I'm Terence Crawford and nobody can beat me unless I beat myself."

The former UFC and BKFC fighter knocked down Christine Wolmarans twice to win her slap fighting debut at Power Slap 8 by unanimous decision. VanZant, 30, delivered her knockdowns in the second and third rounds of the three-round match. Despite a flinching foul that gave Wolmarans a fourth slap attempt, VanZant dominated the match. All three judges scored it 30-25 in her favor. “Honestly, it was absolutely incredible,” VanZant said. “Of course I wanted to knock her out with the first slap, but I’m so happy that it went the way that it did. I knew I could take a punch, I knew I could take a slap. That was really fun.” Photo: Instagram/Paige VanZant Before this win, VanZant had struggled since her 2019 UFC victory over Rachael Ostovich.

Photo: Instagram/Bronny James LeBron James is returning to the NBA for a record-tying 22nd season, where he could play alongside his son, Bronny James , on the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron agreed to a two-year contract with the Lakers, a source told the AP. The second year is optional, meaning LeBron could become a free agent next summer. LeBron's deal is reportedly worth around $74 million, bringing his career earnings close to $790 million. This announcement comes shortly after Bronny signed a four-year deal with the Lakers worth $11.7 million, with $1.78 million for his first year. Bronny's contract is significantly more than Isaiah Wong's deal last year.
