Sharing is caring

The boxing match between former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson who has since retired from the sport and You tuber turned boxer Jake Paul has been postponed.

Tyson fell ill last week and a new fight date is expected in early June. The fight was originally scheduled for July 20 in Arlington, Texas.

Paul is 9-1 in the ring after recording a first-round stoppage win over Ryan Bourland at the beginning of March, the only blemish on his record being a defeat to Tommy Fury in the pair’s grudge match last year.

Tyson, who will have turned 58 by the time the fight arrives, retired from professional boxing back in 2005 with a 50-6 record as a former undisputed heavyweight champion. He fought Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition in November 2020.

“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,” Tyson said in the statement.

“Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good. I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later
