    He only fights tiny 16 years olds. And still comes off worse.

    So the fight as being postponed due to Tysons ulcer flareup.
    To me this is just a sign that this should be scrapped entirely.
    It's not a safe fight, Tyson has probably done way too much damage to his body over the years.
    I know it won't be scrapped obviously, money always comes before health..

    Logan has offered to fight his brother instead.

    My dream is for the Paul brothers to fight each other and knock each other out simultaneously ala Rocky Apollo Creed 2. Except that neither would be able to beat the count. A win win for boxing fans.

    The planned July 20th pay-per-view fight between YouTuber Jake Paul and former unified heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has been postponed due to Tyson’s ulcer flare-up.

    In a statement, 57-year-old Tyson mentioned that his doctor recommended he reduce his training for a few weeks due to the ulcer. Tyson insists he's in the best shape since the 1990s, though this is met with skepticism.

    Obviously, Tyson isn’t as young as he was in the 1990s and needs to rest to recover his health. The fight is still on, with a new date expected to be announced next week. When it happens, it will be broadcast on Netflix PPV from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

    Tyson has been advised by his doctor to halt training until his ulcer condition improves. The recovery time for ulcers can vary, sometimes taking several weeks.

    Jake Paul, 27, remains eager to fight Tyson despite the health issues. However, boxing fans on social media suggest canceling the fight and recommend that Jake focus on younger opponents. Nevertheless, Paul is keen to fight Tyson due to the significant revenue potential Tyson’s name brings.

    Fans criticize Jake Paul for fighting older, past-their-prime former stars instead of facing relevant talents. For instance, here are the ages of some of Jake’s opponents over the last three years:

    Nate Diaz: 39
    Tyron Woodley: 42
    Anderson Silva: 49
    Ben Askren: 39
    Nate Robinson: 40

    A new date for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight will be announced next week. Both fighters are committed to this event, which is expected to be highly lucrative for them.

    Jake Paul, an influencer with 26 million Instagram followers, has a large potential audience for his fight with Mike Tyson. In addition to Instagram, Jake has 4.5 million followers on X and 20.7 million subscribers on his YouTube channel.

    With such a massive following, Jake can earn significant money fighting anyone, but the potential earnings from a fight with the legendary Mike Tyson are astronomical.

    Jake Paul's a despicable conman. I have absolutely zero time for his nonsense and can't understand why anyone would sanction his buffoonery.

    That's my point that, how does such an obviously talentless shitstain generate any kind of revenue in the first place? I don't understand how or why his farcical 'fights' became a thing in the first place.

    He's not in the 'look at this goober on reality TV, it's funny' kind of space, he's competing in a sport with legitimate world class athletes. You wouldn't see him challenging old golfers to track meets and then declaring himself a sprinter would you?

    Looks like the fight has been rescheduled for November 15th. SMH. That fight should be scrapped entirely.

    Alright then, 15th of November.

    Tyson will be 58½ then.

    If they're going to insist on pushing this forward no matter what, let me offer up a prayer for the boxing gods to let Mike nail this punk so hard all his ancestors in Africa feel it. (yes, as in going back 150k years)
