Heavyweight legend Tyson was initially slated to face influencer-turned-boxer Paul on July 20, but the controversial match has been postponed to November 15. Tyson had to withdraw from the bout last month due to a flare-up of a stomach ulcer during a flight, prompting health concerns.

In the meantime, Paul intends to stay active leading up to his rescheduled fight with Tyson and is set to compete on July 20 against former UFC star Mike Perry. Despite being good friends with ‘Iron Mike’, former US President Trump expressed skepticism about Tyson’s ability to defeat Paul in their rescheduled bout, citing their age difference.

“Look, Mike was fantastic, but you know, Mike’s a little older now. You guys can fight, you can legitimately fight. It’s so amazing because I always thought like a UFC guy or a top contender would be able to win even at 75 years old, but it doesn’t work that way. The clock is still the clock,” Trump shared with Paul’s brother Logan on his Impaulsive podcast.
