The fight that was meant to take place on July 20 in Arlington, Texas between former Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson and YouTube star and boxer Jake Paul has officially been postponed. A new date for the bout will be revealed on Friday, July 7.

Bleacher Reporter was the first to announce the news, indicating that the “medical scare” that Tyson recently dealt with onboard a flight is the reason behind the fight being postponed.

While recently traveling from Miami to Los Angeles, Tyson was on board and had been dealing with a “medical scare” that was later deemed to be an ulcer flare-up. This flare-up has now reportedly kept Tyson from being able to train fully, and will lead to the boxing match being put on hold.
