Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are set to face each other on November 15. However, this clash could be canceled at the last minute. The boxing legend Tyson is currently the center of attention in the boxing community. While concerns have been raised time and again about his health, “Iron Mike” is not willing to give up easily. However, a concerning report about Tyson’s health assessment has added to the tension.
The probability of the bout getting canceled is high
According to World Boxing News, Tyson’s medical condition will not be evaluated by Texas licensing regulators until the day before his scheduled return to the ring. This has become a significant concern for event organizers. If Tyson is found to be less than 100%, there will be very little time to inform spectators about the cancellation of the highly anticipated clash. Such a scenario could cause widespread disappointment and create a chaotic situation, jeopardizing the smooth running of the event.
Concerns over Mike Tyson’s health are not new. Initially, he was scheduled to fight on July 20 but had to postpone his boxing return due to medical issues. According to several reports, Tyson suffered from a flared ulcer, which prevented him from engaging in tough physical activities. Furthermore, there are rumors that the match could be reduced from a professional match to an exhibition due to any other health issues. Rumors and controversies have been circulating around the match ever since it was announced. One of the biggest factors fueling the speculation is the huge age difference between Tyson and “The Problem Child. Tyson is 31 years older than Paul.
Both men can prove to be a threat to each other
While Mike Tyson was one of the most dangerous boxing fighters during his time, fans have expressed their doubts over whether Tyson will be able to keep up with his young opponent, especially considering that Tyson has been out of match practice since 2020. Paul, on the other hand, has put up impressive performances, defeating fighters like Ben Askren, Nate Diaz, Mike Perry and more, making him an intimidating opponent in the ring. However, despite all the uncertainty surrounding Tyson, there are still people who believe in his supremacy.

Recently, MMA fighter and boxer Francis Ngannou also warned Jake Paul about the imminent threat Mike Tyson can pose during the fight. Speaking on a recent episode of “BS with Jake Paul,” “The Predator” stated how he had watched Tyson train up close. And whatever Ngannou saw was enough to make him believe that Tyson ‘still has it.’
