The boxing match between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has been postponed after a recent ulcer flare-up that left Tyson dizzy on a plane, promoters said Friday.
The fight had been scheduled for July 20.
Tyson, 57, felt nauseous and dizzy on a Miami-to-Los Angeles flight Sunday, and his representatives blamed it on the ulcer.
“During a follow up consultation on Thursday with medical professionals on his recent ulcer flare up, 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,” Most Valuable Promotions said in a statement.
Both Tyson and Paul agreed to the postponement, the company said.
The new date for the fight will be announced July 7, MVP said.
Tyson in a statement distributed by the promoter got in some trash talk to Paul, in true boxing fashion. "My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will be back to my full training schedule soon," he said.
