Whether the planned Jake Paul-Mike Tyson bout happens is becoming a bigger and bigger if than a guaranteed when, according to a report on Monday.
Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix said there was “genuine concern” about whether the fight would still happen following Tyson’s recent medical issue during a cross-country flight that led to the bout already being postponed from its original July 20 date at AT&T Stadium.
While Mannix said during an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show” that there were two dates being explored to reschedule the fight for – one in mid-October and the other in mid-November – other fighters on the card are growing concerned about the planned event.
“There is genuine concern from people that are also on the card — I mean, there are another number of fights that are also on the card — about this specific card moving forward
“Again, Mike Tyson is 57 years old; he’s almost 58 years old. They’re saying it’s a minor ulcer issue, but I don’t think anything’s minor at that stage of your life, especially when it comes to putting yourself in the proper shape to fight a professional boxing match.”
