Mike Tyson Ulcer Issue Tanks Fight With Jake Paul

Reports have claimed that boxer Mike Tyson is recovering well after experiencing a medical emergency during a recent journey, which led to paramedics responding to his flight. Nevertheless, the 57-year-old athlete's condition has sparked worries about his well-being, causing event coordinators to call off his highly anticipated bout against 27-year-old influencer Jake Paul.

Netflix had arranged a highly anticipated boxing match for July 20th in collaboration with Most Valuable Promotions, a company owned by Paul. However, due to health issues, Tyson has had to stop his training for the event. Netflix stated that even someone as tough as Tyson must prioritize his health and follow medical advice.

According to a representative from Tyson, he was feeling sick on a plane ride from Miami to Los Angeles. Tyson, who was found guilty of rape in 1992 and was accused of other instances of sexual assault last year, had an ulcer flare-up that made him feel queasy and lightheaded. The airline company, American Airlines, confirmed that the plane had to be met by emergency responders because of Tyson's health condition.

It was reported by Tyson's representative, who has been working with him for a long time, that he received medical attention at the airport and was released. Later on in the same week, medical professionals advised him to take a break from the intense training required for his fight against someone who is 30 years younger than him.

On Thursday, Mike Tyson's team reported that after consulting medical experts about his ulcer flare-up, he was advised to engage in minimal to light training for the next few weeks. Then, he can return to full training with no restrictions.

I would like to express my gratitude to my supporters all over the globe, as they have stood by me and shown understanding. Sadly, because of my ulcer flare-up, my physician has instructed me to reduce my training for a brief period to allow me to rest and heal. This quote is said to be from Tyson.

Ever since the 1990s, my physical condition has improved significantly. Soon, I will be able to resume my complete training routine.

A few medical professionals who talked to USA TODAY believed that Tyson's attempt to prepare for his fight could have been the cause of his stomach problems, which postponed the match. The use of painkillers bought without a prescription, like Aleve, Advil, or ibuprofen, can lead to severe sores in different locations in the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach or the small intestine. Hence, if Tyson was consuming any of these medications during his recovery plan, it could have caused his stomach issue to worsen.

A physician commented that it places a significant amount of pressure on the body. I presume his exercise plan must be extreme, causing an excessive amount of tension on the body.

The doctors warned that if he kept on exercising, the ulcer could cause worse problems that might need immediate surgery. One of the doctors informed him that it would need three months for the ulcer to heal entirely.

Tyson expressed that he still intends on defeating Paul, despite the delay caused by recent events. He claims that Paul may have earned himself some extra time, but ultimately, he will be defeated and will no longer be able to participate in boxing. Tyson is grateful for the support he has received thus far, and is excited to put on an unforgettable performance later this year.

"Netflix shared a statement from Paul where he expressed his complete endorsement of delaying the event to ensure that Mike Tyson does not have any alibis during the fight night."

My supporters understand that I only want to compete with Iron Mike when he is in top form, however it should be crystal clear that when we step into the ring together, I will be fully prepared to secure my victory with an extraordinary performance. The upcoming match between Paul and Tyson will be an unforgettable moment in history, and I guarantee that I will showcase my utmost skills for this unique and exceptional event.

The fight has been rescheduled, but the location will still be the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, according to Netflix. Fans who have already purchased tickets with their seat locations will not need to take any further action. They should keep an eye out for the rescheduling announcement of the upcoming fight date, which MVP has stated will be released on June 7th.
