Fans will have to wait a little while longer to see Mike Tyson make his highly anticipated return to the ring. The upcoming bout between Tyson and Jake Paul has been put on hold. The boxing match was originally scheduled to take place on July 20 in Arlington, Texas. But Tyson recently experienced health complications, which forced the postponement. Despite the delay, Paul maintains that he will be ready to go whenever the fight happens. 'I’m ready whenever you are.
Obviously, devastating news, I’m heartbroken, speechless, gutted,' Paul said in the video. 'We’ve been working so hard over here, everyone in this camp. And I just feel so bad for everyone involved in this event, the whole undercard, this opportunity has been ripped from all of us. But I do value Mike’s health first and foremost. Love that guy, have so much respect for him.
Paul has a 9-1 record, with six knockouts during his pro career. He was defeated by Tommy Fury in a split decision in 2023. Tyson, once known as 'the baddest man on the planet,' turns 58 later this month. Tyson has not fought competitively since his TKO loss to Kevin McBride in 2005. He did compete in an exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr. in July 2020. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
