Mike Tyson and Jake Paul were due to fight on July 20th.
A statement released on Friday by Paul’s promotional company MVP announced that Tyson was unable to train due to an ulcer leading to the cancellation of the event.
“During a follow up consultation on Thursday with medical professionals on his recent ulcer flare up, the recommendation is for
Mike Tyson to do minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations,” the statement read.
“Both Mike and Jake are in agreement that it is only fair to ensure that both athletes have equal training time to prepare for this important match and are able to compete at the highest level.
“The health and well-being of athletes is our top priority, and we fully support Mike in taking the necessary time to allow him to perform at the level he expects of himself.”

Mike Tyson has promised to put on an unforgettable performance later this year.
“I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time. Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flareup, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover.
“My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will be back to my full training schedule soon. Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good.
“I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year.”
Jake Paul then said: “I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses come fight night.
“My fans know I don’t want to face Iron Mike at anything but his best, but let there be no mistake – when he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish.
