Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will see the highly anticipated bout between November, which was originally scheduled to take place in November but the original fight date was postponed.
Tyson,58, was compelled to postpone the July date due to a medical emergency involving an ulcer flare-up that occurred during a journey from Miami to Los Angeles, which prevented him from training. The battle has been rescheduled, and it will be an officially sanctioned professional boxing match where the records of both boxers are at stake.
The July bout between the 57-year-old Tyson and the 27-year-old Paul was rescheduled after Tyson’s ulcer flare-up diagnosis prompted medical officials to advise him to temporarily scale back his training.
