In just a few days, Mike Tyson is set to step back into the ring to face Jake Paul… or is he? Tyson may have made a critical error by revealing a health issue that could jeopardize this highly anticipated bout with the influencer-turned-boxer.
Months ago, Jake Paul reached out to Tyson, seeking a professional fight. The legendary boxer agreed, initially scheduling it for July 20 at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
However, the fight didn’t go ahead as planned. Tyson experienced an ulcer flare-up during a flight, leading to the fight’s postponement to November 15. Now, though, the match may once again be in question.

“A week and a half ago, I was training and feeling great,” Tyson said on the Netflix documentary about the fight. “But suddenly, I felt exhausted. I flew from Miami and threw up blood on the plane. Later, I found myself on the bathroom floor, defecating tar. When I got checked, they found a two-and-a-half-inch bleeding ulcer.”
