Jake Paul has finally broken his silence following his much-talked-about brawl with Mike Tyson, which has been rescheduled due to a doctor's recommendation last Friday.

Paul, who used to make videos on YouTube and now fights in the boxing ring, was supposed to go against a former world champion named Tyson in Texas on July 20. However, Tyson experienced a sudden recurrence of an ulcer, making it impossible for him to train.

Tyson has been experiencing various health problems recently, with the latest being the incident in question. The former champion has stated that he broke his back in the past and has also been seen using a wheelchair. There have also been speculations about his mortality.

The upcoming match, which can only be viewed on Netflix, has been declared as a professional contest. As a result, it signifies Tyson's return to the professional boxing scene. The former heavyweight champion will turn 58 years old on June 30, and this would be his first professional bout since 2005.

After considering the delay, Paul shared his feelings of annoyance on Friday evening.

Jake Paul has finally broken his silence after the delay of his highly anticipated fight with Mike Tyson.

. Due to a recent bout of ulcers, Tyson had to withdraw from the July 20 competition. He was unable to train properly, so the match couldn't go ahead as planned.

"It's terrible news," he expressed in a video posted on X. "I am completely devastated, at a loss for words, and shattered. We've been giving it our all and putting in a lot of effort in this camp."

I sympathize with all the individuals participating in the undercard of this event. It's disappointing that we have all been denied the chance to showcase our skills.

Although Paul was disappointed, he still expressed his good thoughts to Tyson. He also mentioned how the fight will affect the boxing industry.

He said, "Above everything else, I prioritize Mike's well-being and care deeply for him. I hold him in high regard and wish for his good health."

"He claims that he will still beat me up, but I managed to delay him for now. Mike is still talking nonsense over there. You suggested that we settle this matter in the fourth quarter, and I am prepared for it. You just need some more time, and I am willing to face you anytime you are ready."

This opportunity is enormous and I believe that this fight will have a tremendous impact, allowing me to transform my losses into wins. This is a motto I live by and I am confident in its power.

The cosmos does not commit errors, therefore, let us discover what lies ahead. However, we apologize that this did not pan out for all parties involved, including our supporters. We appreciate and cherish your loyalty.

After the fight was delayed, Tyson spoke and expressed gratitude towards his supporters globally. He acknowledged their continued support and comprehension during this period.

Regrettably, my doctor has recommended that I scale back my training for a couple of weeks to recuperate and allow my ulcer to heal as it has resurfaced.

I'm feeling great about the state of my body right now, the best it's been since the 90s. I'll be getting back to my regular training soon. Jake Paul, you may have temporarily dodged a bullet, but ultimately you'll still get knocked out and won't be boxing anymore.

I am grateful for the understanding of all the people and I am excited to provide a remarkable show in the upcoming months.

This event was just the most recent occurrence of several health issues that have affected the ex-champion.

During a recent American Airlines flight from Miami to LA on Sunday, May 26, a person experienced an eruption of their ulcer. This prompted the airline's crew to ask if there was a medical professional onboard who could offer assistance.

Common signs of an ulcer attack consist of feeling nauseous and throwing up, experiencing swelling, burping and discomfort from gas, as well as chest aches and tiredness.

In his blog post, Tyson claimed to be making good progress towards recovery. However, it was obvious that he wasn't fit enough to continue with the fight. He had even made a comment in the past that suggested he didn't require optimal health to defeat Paul.

The upcoming competition between Paul and Tyson has been met with criticism due to the large difference in their ages. Additionally, there was supposed to be another highly anticipated match between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, but it seems that this has been postponed due to Tyson's health emergency.

Most Valuable Promotions, the organizers of the event, announced a postponement of the Paul-Tyson event and informed that it will be scheduled for another day in the future.

They released a message stating that the much-awaited boxing bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will not push through as initially planned.

Mike Tyson had a check up on his recent ulcer flare up with medical professionals on Thursday. They suggested that he should only engage in mild to moderate exercises for the next few weeks before resuming full training with no restrictions.

Mike and Jake both share the same belief that it is just and equitable to give both players the same amount of training time to get ready for the crucial game and have the chance to perform at their best.

Paul felt deeply saddened and devastated, however, he expressed that the wellbeing of the 57-year-old individual was of greater importance.

It is probable that the co-main event featuring Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will be delayed.

At the core of our concern, is the fitness and welfare of sportsmen, and we wholly uphold Mike's decision to take the required duration to enable him to execute at the standard that corresponds with his expectations.

In the upcoming weeks, it is anticipated that Mike will resume his complete exercise regimen and he is enthusiastic about returning to the boxing ring.

The MVP team is planning to change the date of the match and hold it at the AT&T Stadium later this year. We are eager to witness a thrilling and well-planned competition between these extraordinary players. The updated schedule of the bout will be declared by Friday next week, i.e., June 7th.
