Mike Tyson’s medical scare postpones his boxing match with Jake Paul

(CBS NEWS) — The highly anticipated boxing showdown between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and social media star Jake Paul has been postponed after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare up last weekend, Netflix announced Friday.

“Tyson’s recent ulcer flare up has limited his ability to train fully for the next few weeks,” the streaming giant, which was slated to livestream the fight in July, announced in a statement posted to X.

Netflix said the fight “will be rescheduled for a date later this year after Mike’s able to resume training with no limitations and both fighters can have equal time to prepare.”

Paul’s company, Most Valuable Promotions, also confirmed the news.

“The recommendation is for Mike Tyson to do minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations,” the statement read. “The new date of the fight will be announced by next Friday, June 7th.”
