Mike Tyson and Jake Paul’s Netflix Livestreamed Boxing Match Delayed Over Tyson Ulcer Issue

The highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, slated to be livestreamed on Netflix, has hit a snag. Originally scheduled for July 20, the bout has been postponed due to Tyson’s recent ulcer flare-up, as confirmed by the event’s promoter. The new date for the fight is set to be announced by June 7, with the event still planned to take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, later in 2024.

In a statement released by Most Valuable Promotions, the co-producer of the fight alongside Netflix, it was revealed that Tyson’s medical advisors have recommended minimal to light training for the boxer in the coming weeks. Both fighters have agreed that equal preparation time is essential for a fair competition, prioritizing the health and well-being of the athletes involved.

Tyson is expected to resume full training soon, eager to step back into the ring. Netflix also addressed the postponement on social media, expressing regret over the delay and assuring fans that the fight will be rescheduled for a later date this year.

“I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time,” Tyson stated. Despite the setback, he remains confident in his abilities and looks forward to delivering a memorable performance when the fight eventually takes place.

Paul echoed Tyson’s sentiments, emphasizing his support for postponing the event to ensure a level playing field. He promised fans a thrilling showdown, vowing to bring his best to the ring for what he anticipates will be a historic matchup.
