After airplane incident
Mike Tyson’s comeback postponed
The comeback in the ring of former world boxing champion Mike Tyson has been postponed. As the organizers announced on Friday, the 57-year-old will not be able to compete against YouTuber Jake Paul following recent health problems.
The show fight against the 27-year-old internet star was originally scheduled to take place on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas and be broadcast on the streaming provider Netflix.
However, Tyson complained of nausea and dizziness on board an airplane last Sunday and had to receive medical treatment as a result. According to his own statements, the doctors treating the New York native have now recommended that he take a break from training for a few weeks to recover from a stomach ulcer.
"My body is in a better overall condition than it was in the 1990s and I will soon be back to my full training schedule," said the 57-year-old in an official statement. A new date is to be announced by June 7.
Tyson's last professional fight in 2005
Tyson last fought professionally in June 2005, but resumed boxing training years ago and returned to the ring for a show fight against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020. The eight-round fight ended in a draw. His new opponent Jake Paul has won nine of his ten fights as a professional to date, the last two by knockout.
