Jake Paul hinted that he's set to battle another well-known figure in the ring following the delay of his highly anticipated match against Mike Tyson, which was supposed to be held this week.

Paul was ready to fight the famous heavyweight in Texas on the 20th of July. Unfortunately, it was reported on Friday that the match won't occur because of Tyson's recent health problem.

Netflix made an announcement stating that the event between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, which was scheduled for July 20, will not be happening as planned.

Tyson has been experiencing an ulcer flare-up, which has resulted in him not being able to fully train for the upcoming weeks.

The bout will be postponed to a later time this year until Mike can resume training with no restrictions, and both contenders can acquire an equal amount of time to train for this unique showdown!

The beginning of next year may witness Jake Paul's speculated battle against fellow internet sensation, KSI, according to his hints.

There were two major boxing matches in February featuring popular YouTubers. The first match was between Jake Paul and KSI, while the second match was between Logan Paul and Deji. Both fights were highly anticipated and drew a lot of attention from fans all over the world. It was an exciting time for boxing enthusiasts and followers of these YouTube stars.

Be ready to wait for the announcement of the new date for the fight, which will be made before the end of next week.

Afterwards, Paul proposed that he will engage in combat against another prominent YouTube personality, KSI, in the month of February.

The story started when Paul reached out to a member of Sidemen on Twitter, suggesting that they have a fight on the same day he was originally scheduled to battle Tyson.

According to his statement, KSI's coach has confirmed that he weighs above 200lbs at the moment. This means that he cannot use his weight as an excuse for any performance issues.

KSI has already planned a fight for August, however, he appears prepared to battle Paul in the upcoming year.

'How about we schedule it on July 20th and then have Paul Tyson's turn in either October or November?'

When asked, KSI declined the offer for a fight in July citing that he already has a match lined up for August.

He wrote a message suggesting that instead of getting into a fight with a senior citizen at the end of the year (something that no one desires), you should fight him in December.

The scheduled fight between Paul and Mike Tyson has been delayed because the boxing icon is facing some medical problems.

Paul said, "I offered KSI another chance to fight in July but he declined and said he's fighting in August. No problem. I will be fighting in either October or November. We can schedule our fight for February at MSG in NYC, and the weight limit is 200 pounds."

Afterward, he posted on Twitter: "How about two fights coming up in February? One pits Jake Paul against KSI, while the other features Logan Paul taking on Deji. Are you interested?"
