Mike Tyson is 'Feeling 100%' After Medical Scare And Trash Talks Jake Paul

Whelp, that changed pretty quickly. The highly anticipated boxing bout between Jake Paul and iconic heavyweight former champion Mike Tyson has been postponed due to Tyson’s recent medical scare, or as some called it, an emergency. Get this: Most Valuable Promotions, Paul’s boxing promotion company, made the official announcement. Paul expressed his disappointment in a video posted to X, saying he was “heartbroken” but still willing to fight Tyson once he recovered.

The New York Post’s Ryan Glasspiegel and Matt Ehalt reported that Tyson, 57, experienced an ulcer flare-up that caused nausea and dizziness just before landing from a Miami to Los Angeles flight on May 26. Tyson’s representatives have since stated that the former heavyweight champion is “doing great.” Tyson himself confirmed he is “feeling 100 percent.” The super hyped-up fight, which was set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium, will have a new date announced on June 7. Check out both fighters’ statements following the postponement.

Tyson said, “I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time. Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flareup, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover. 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. 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 this year.”

Paul went on to add, “I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses come fight night. My fans know I don’t want to face Iron Mike at anything but his best, but let there be no mistake – when he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish. Paul vs Tyson will be one for the ages, and I promise to bring my best for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup.”

ICYMI, Jake Paul is a 27-year-old social media star turned boxer and holds a 9-1 professional record, including six knockouts, with victories over former MMA stars like Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley (twice), Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz. His only defeat was a split decision to Tommy Fury. We shouldn’t have to recap who Mike Tyson is, but he once was the undisputed world heavyweight champion, began his career with a 37-0 record, and ended it at 50-6 (two no-contests).

Logan Paul Offers To Fight Brother Jake After Mike Tyson Delay

by

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson has been one of the most anticipated boxing matches of 2024. Fans have been chomping at the bit to see the social media personality throw down against one of the greatest boxers to ever lace up the gloves. Unfortunately, the chomping is going to continue. Tyson’s reps issued an official statement on May 31 claiming that the boxer fell ill during a flight to Los Angeles. The event is delayed as a result, with a new date slated to be announced the first week of June. Unless, of course, Logan Paul gets his wish.

Logan Paul has joined his brother in pivoting to boxing, and seized the opportunity to throw his hat in the ring after the delay. “So Mike Tyson’s out,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I’ll step in and we can settle this once and for all.” To further ham up the notion of a showdown between brothers, Logan Paul posted a pic of him and Jake dogging each other. It was a way to make light of the recent news. Despite Logan’s offer, Jake is taking the delay hard. He voiced his disappointment during an Instagram Live. “Obviously, devastating news,” he told his viewers. “I’m heartbroken, speechless. We’ve been working so hard over here. Everyone in this camp.”

Jake Paul went on express “I feel bad for everyone involved in this event. The whole undercard. This is an opportunity that’s been ripped from all of us.” Despite the logistical nightmare that the delay has caused, the internet personality maintained that Tyson’s health was most important. He also made it clear that he plans to fight Tyson whenever he gets the chance. “I do value Mike’s health first and foremost,” he said. “Love that guy, have so much respect for him. I want Mike to be healthy… He says he’s still gonna knock me out and I bought myself some time.” He then addressed Mike Tyson specifically, claiming he’s ready whenever the boxer is.

It sounds like Logan Paul is not going to get the replacement gig. It’s an ironic turn of events, since Logan claimed that he was initially offered the chance to fight Tyson. He discussed it on his podcast, and stated that he turned down the fight because he felt Tyson was too old. This led to a dispute between the two Paul brothers. Jake went on an Adin Ross Twitch stream and contradicted Logan’s claim. “I don’t know why he would say that,” he noted. “Like me and most valuable promotions and my partner Nikisa struck a deal with Netflix. Mike Tyson wasn’t offering people deals, so I don’t know what he’s talking about.”

Mike Tyson is 'Feeling 100%' After Medical Scare And Trash Talks Jake Paul

Thankfully, heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson gave a positive health update Tuesday after a medical emergency on Sunday. Tyson announced on X that he feels “100 percent,” while also taking a jab at Jake Paul, pun intended, of course.

Katherine Schaffstall of In Touch Weekly reported that Tyson experienced a “medical emergency” on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.

ICYMI, paramedics treated Tyson upon landing, and his representatives later explained that he had an “ulcer flare-up” causing him to feel “nauseous and dizzy.” They added that Tyson was “appreciative to the medical staff there to help him.”

Now, Tyson, 57, is widely considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers, although he has not competed in an official match since 2005. His recent notable activity includes an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, which ended in an eight-round split draw.

The larger-than-life “sanctioned” bout on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will pit Tyson against Jake Paul, who is 30 years younger and far less experienced.

Paul, originally a YouTuber and actor, debuted in pro boxing in 2020 and has a 9-1 record with six knockouts.

Unless you have been under a rock, Paul’s slew of wins include bouts against former UFC stars, though he suffered his only loss to Tommy Fury. Despite Tyson’s age and long hiatus from official matches, he is expected to be Paul’s toughest challenge. The fight will be streamed live on Netflix.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Boxing Match Press Conference

After an inflight medical episode, Mike Tyson updated his condition via X. He is still ready to fight Jake Paul.

“Now feeling 100%,” Tyson wrote, “even though I don’t need to be to beat Jake Paul.”

The YouTuber-turned-boxer recently reassured fans that his upcoming fight with Mike Tyson is still on, despite Tyson’s recent health scare. The 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer took to social media on Monday to address rumors of a cancellation following Tyson’s medical emergency over the weekend.

Here’s what Paul posted “You love to make s–t up before knowing the facts for clicks / likes. Nothing changed #PaulTyson,” Paul wrote on X.

Get this: Tyson, 57, experienced nausea and dizziness due to an ulcer flare-up while on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. His representative told Page Six that Tyson “became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing.” They added that Tyson is “appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him” and clarified that he is “doing great.”

The sanctioned match between Tyson and Paul is set to broadcast live on Netflix, which is the biggest streamer in the world, from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 20. Tyson expressed enthusiasm for the fight, calling it a “no-brainer” at a press conference earlier this month. “He’s the new up-and-coming guy on the scene. I like shaking the sports world to its core, and I’m doing that now. It’s just something I want to do,” Tyson explained.

Paul also stated the significance of their fight, stating, “This is quite literally the biggest fight of the 21st century.” He emphasized the match’s global reach, adding, “Because of the fact that it’s Mike Tyson versus me, but also the fact that it’s in 700 million households.”

Iron Mike, who became the youngest heavyweight champion in 1986 by defeating Trevor Berbick, has an impressive 50-6-2 record with 44 knockouts. In contrast, Paul holds a 9-1 record with six knockouts. Despite his relative inexperience, Paul remains confident. “I’m a natural-born heavyweight,” he declared. “I’m gonna show Mike who has more power. I think he’s underestimating me, I think everyone else is underestimating me.”

Jake Paul Sends Out Cryptic Message After Mike Tyson’s Medical Emergency Puts Fight In Doubt

by

Jake Paul’s cryptic response to the news of Mike Tyson’s recent medical issue just weeks before their highly anticipated Netflix match has left fans and rivals alike speculating. Tyson’s ulcer flare-up, which caused him to feel queasy and lightheaded during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, required immediate medical attention. Despite this, Tyson’s condition has been reported as “doing great.” His scheduled bout with Paul on July 20 in Texas remains unaffected. Paul’s reaction, seemingly in response to his rivals and fans using old pictures of Tyson to undermine his upcoming fight with the legend, has added a layer of mystery to the situation. 

In the wake of the legend’s recent medical emergency, Jake Paul has taken aim at his competitors KSI and Dillon Danis for their use of old photos of Mike Tyson in a wheelchair. Despite the images being two years old, KSI and Danis, who both have a contentious relationship with Paul, chose to share them. Tyson, a former heavyweight world champion, has attributed his condition to a sciatica flare-up.

Jake Paul Responds To Mike Tyson’s Medical Scare

Tyson spoke to  Newsmax about his condition. He said, “I have sciatica every now and then, and it flares up. When it flares up, I can’t even talk! Thank God it’s the only health problem I have. I’m splendid now. Everybody in my house is truly blessed, and we’re all very grateful for whatever we have.” Jake Pual seems to be responding to the scare, throwing doubt on the fight and the fears that Tyson is too old to be competing. Despite his history and status, Tyson is almost 60 years old. Jake Paul is 30 years younger than Tyson. Hopefully, the fight doesn’t result in any life-threatening situations. 

He and Tyson are scheduled to square off over eight two-minute rounds in what is expected to be a professional bout that will be noted on both fighters’ records. In his most recent professional bout many years ago, Tyson lost to Kevin McBride on his stool after five rounds. Paul, on the other hand, has defeated just one opponent, Tommy Fury, last year, having won nine of his ten battles. He has defeated journeymen boxers, seasoned MMA fighters, and sportsmen from many sports. All in all, we hope Mike Tyson is healthy, and the fight goes through with no complications.
