Health Concerns Halt Anticipated Match. The sports world was taken by surprise when the much-anticipated boxing match between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, scheduled for July 20 at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, was postponed. The reason behind this delay is Mike Tyson’s recent health setback, specifically an ulcer flare-up, which has hindered his ability to train at full capacity.
At 57, Mike Tyson, once the undisputed heavyweight champion, finds himself in a predicament that prioritizes his health over competitive aspirations. Tyson disclosed that his doctor advised a reduction in training intensity to allow time for rest and recovery. He remains optimistic, however, stating that his physical condition is notably the best it has been since the 1990s and he anticipates returning to his rigorous training regimen soon.
The postponement affects not only the headline event but also other matches planned for the evening, including a high-profile rematch between light-welterweight champion Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. While the organizers, Most Valuable Promotions alongside Netflix, have not yet confirmed adjustments to these other bouts, it is expected that the entire card will be moved to align with the rescheduled main event.
Both fighters have publicly expressed their views on the postponement. Tyson emphasized the importance of entering the ring only when fully fit, and Paul echoed this sentiment, stating his desire to face Tyson only when he is at his best. Most Valuable Promotions announced that a new date for the fight will be revealed on June 7, underscoring their commitment to ensuring both fighters are adequately prepared and in peak condition.
The event organizers reiterated their commitment to the health and well-being of the athletes as their foremost priority. They expressed full support for Tyson’s need to recuperate and confirmed that training for the fight would resume with no restrictions once Tyson is fully healed. This approach not only ensures the safety and health of Mike Tyson but also maintains the integrity and competitive nature of the sporting event.
This postponement is another chapter in the storied careers of both fighters. For Tyson, it’s a reminder of the physical demands of boxing, even in exhibition or comeback fights, especially given his age and past intensity in the sport. For Paul, this event represents another significant step in legitimizing his boxing career by facing off against one of the sport’s legends.
As the new fight date approaches, all eyes will remain on how both fighters prepare and adapt to the changes, setting the stage for what is hoped to be a memorable clash in the ring
