Jake Paul was crushed when he learned that his long-anticipated fight with boxing legend Mike Tyson would be delayed. The two had planned to face off in July, but Tyson, 57, had to postpone after experiencing a serious health scare.

While flying from Miami to Los Angeles, Tyson suffered intense pain and was rushed to the hospital, where doctors discovered a large bleeding ulcer in his stomach. The two-and-a-half-inch ulcer forced the heavyweight icon to take a break from training, and the fight was pushed back to November 15. The matchup is expected to draw up to 80,000 fans in Texas.

Paul, a YouTuber turned boxer, was shocked and disappointed by the delay. In a recent Netflix documentary, he revealed his frustration, saying, "When I got the news he couldn’t fight, I felt numb. I like knowing my plans, so this just threw everything off."

Paul has been training hard for this fight. Since starting his boxing career, he’s won 10 out of 11 professional matches, with hopes of one day becoming a world champion. Tyson, on the other hand, hasn’t fought professionally in almost 20 years but still holds legendary status in the boxing world.

The fight between Tyson and Paul will be a sanctioned match, featuring two eight-minute rounds with padded gloves. For Tyson, it will be his first official fight since 2005, marking a comeback nearly 20 years in the making. Source: Mirror
