The much-anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has faced a setback as it has been indefinitely postponed.
Netflix, the streaming service set to broadcast the event, confirmed the news, citing a recent medical issue faced by Mike Tyson as the reason for the postponement.
According to Netflix, Tyson's ulcer flare-up has limited his ability to train fully for the upcoming fight.
As a result, both fighters agreed to reschedule the match for a later date, allowing Tyson to recover and train without any limitations.
The streaming service assured fans that the new fight date would be announced by the end of the following week.
The boxing legend, Tyson, experienced a medical emergency while on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. He suffered an ulcer flare-up, causing him to feel nauseous when the flight was nearing its destination.
However, his representatives confirmed that Tyson was doing well after the incident and expressed gratitude to the medical staff for their assistance.
Both Tyson and Jake Paul had been actively promoting the fight, generating significant excitement among fans.
Tyson even took to Twitter to express his confidence, stating that he feels 100% and doesn't need to be at his best to defeat Jake Paul.
However, their enthusiasm was dampened by the subsequent announcement of the indefinite postponement.
Jake Paul, on the other hand, voiced his support for the decision, emphasizing the importance of facing Tyson at his best.
He assured fans that when the time comes for the fight, he will be ready to claim victory with a sensational finish.
Mike Tyson once offered $10,000 to be allowed to fight a silverback gorilla.
Mike Tyson, the former champion, surprised everyone by admitting that he had once wanted to engage in a fight with a large gorilla at a zoo in New York.
Tyson confessed that during a visit to the New York Zoo with his ex-wife, he became fascinated by a dominant male gorilla that was bullying the other gorillas in its enclosure.
In a resurfaced interview, Tyson revealed that he even paid a zoo worker $10,000 to reopen the gorilla's cage for him.
He expressed his desire to confront the silverback gorilla and was willing to enter the cage to "teach it a lesson." However, the wise zookeeper declined his offer in order to ensure the safety of both Tyson and the gorilla.
Despite his desire to confront the "evil" gorilla, Tyson has consistently shown a genuine love for animals.
In a recent Instagram Live interview, he expressed regret for keeping tigers in captivity in the past, acknowledging the risks they pose, even to their owners.
Tyson's current life revolves around his 40-acre cannabis ranch in California, where he hosted a cannabis-friendly music festival and made headlines for smoking a foot-long joint.
