Two Critical Tests Could Cancel Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Fight
Jake Paul’s high-profile boxing match against legendary fighter Mike Tyson, set to take place this Friday, November 15, could still be canceled despite the event being just days away. Reports indicate that Tyson’s participation in the fight is contingent on passing two crucial health tests, which are causing both fighters and fans to hold their breath.
The bout, scheduled to take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will be streamed live on Netflix, with millions around the world eagerly waiting for the action. This highly anticipated showdown between Paul and Tyson was originally slated for July but had to be rescheduled after Tyson faced a life-threatening health scare. Now, despite the delay, the fight could still be scrapped if Tyson doesn’t clear the health hurdles in time.
In a recent Netflix documentary, Tyson opened up about the terrifying ordeal that led to the fight’s initial postponement. Tyson revealed that while flying from Miami, he experienced a severe ulcer flare-up, throwing up blood and even defecating tar. “I thought I was going to die,” Tyson said, detailing how his health took a dramatic turn for the worse. After arriving in Texas, doctors discovered a large, bleeding ulcer, and Tyson’s friends feared the worst.
With just days left until the fight, the two critical tests Tyson needs to pass include medical clearance and an assessment of his physical condition. If Tyson fails either of these tests, the fight will be called off, leaving Jake Paul to wait for a new opponent. Tyson’s health remains a major concern, and while both fighters have expressed their desire to step into the ring, Paul admitted that he was “numb” upon hearing the news of Tyson’s health complications and the potential for another delay.
As of now, Paul and Tyson are scheduled to enter the ring at 4 a.m. GMT on Friday, November 15, but the situation remains uncertain. The outcome of these two vital tests will determine whether the fight can go ahead or if it will be rescheduled once again, leaving fans and industry insiders anxiously awaiting the final decision.
