TThe bout between former world champion Mike Tyson and YouTuber Jake Paul has been postponed until next year. November 15The news was reported in a press release by combat sports promoter Most Value Promotions a few weeks ago.
Last week, the company announced that Tyson, considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, had suffered an ulcer and would be unable to hold the fight on the originally scheduled date. July 20th.
Doctors have recommended that “Iron Mike” refrain from strenuous exercise for a few weeks until the ulcer heals. “I will resume training soon and I would like to thank the medical staff for treating me. The outcome of the match will remain unchanged. Jake Paul is going to get knocked out” Tyson said in a statement.
That feeling, UFC A star who backs up the boxing legend, his experience and how he believes he can perform against athletes who have come a long way but have never boxed in their lives.
Mike Tyson is supported by many legendary athletes
While many are backing Mike Tyson, Jake Paul is the favorite due to his recent activity, age and stamina. He is 27 years old and the boxing legend will turn 58 just before the fight.
However, the former UFC champion and PFL ambassador Randy Couture Paul doesn't think he has a chance to fight Tyson fully professionally, and the former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion believes the only way Paul can stay afloat is if he sets different terms than what is currently considered normal.
“From what I've seen, I don't think Jake Paul can compete against Mike Tyson,” Couture said in an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow ahead of PFL's regular season shows in Salt Lake City and Sioux Falls over the next two weeks.
“Then there were rumors that there were special considerations and rules about how to fight, but I don't think that's fair. If you want to do it, do it. You picked some crazy fighters. In the past, you've picked MMA grapplers with a lot of wrestling and grappling experience.”
That may change in the coming months, but for now, at least, many support the idea that Mike Tyson has the ability to fight one more time, even against better athletes than him.
