The much-anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has been postponed due to Tyson’s recent health scare, sparking reactions across social media.

Mike Tyson’s much-anticipated match against Jake Paul has been postponed after the boxing legend suffered a medical scare aboard a May 26 flight from Miami to Los Angeles.

During the journey, Tyson experienced intense nausea and dizziness due to an ulcer flare-up about 30 minutes before the plane landed.

Paramedics met the flight upon arrival. Tyson’s representatives later confirmed he is “doing great” and on the road to recovery.

Following a follow-up consultation on May 29, medical professionals recommended Mike Tyson undertake minimal training to avoid further health risks.

The health incident has delayed Tyson’s face-off with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, which was originally set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Mike Tyson has been advised to limit his training while he recuperates to ensure that athletes compete at peak performance levels.

The match will be rescheduled, with a new date expected to be announced next week.

Both fighters have agreed that postponing the match is the fairest path forward to guarantee they each have adequate preparation time.

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul supported the decision, acknowledging the importance of equal preparation time for such a high-stakes contest.
