Mike Tyson sent a spine-tingling message to Jake Paul after their highly anticipated fight was rescheduled for November 15. The clash was postponed when Tyson experienced a flare-up of an ulcer during a flight last week. The boxing legend reportedly fell ill on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, requiring immediate medical assistance.

Despite his team’s assurances of a full recovery, medical professionals advised that the original fight date was too soon for Tyson. The bout, originally set for July 2, pits the 57-year-old former undisputed world heavyweight champion against the 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul.

In a viral video posted on X, Tyson declared his intentions clearly: “Different date. Same fate. I’m going to knock out Jake Paul.” The post was captioned, “Jake’s new wake date. Nov. 15th.” Paul has yet to respond to Tyson’s bold statement.

Tyson reassured his fans that the medical setback wouldn’t derail his preparations. “Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me and to MVP, Netflix, and AT&T Stadium for working diligently to find the best reschedule date for all parties,” he stated. Tyson emphasized his confidence in the outcome: “While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out.”

This fight marks Tyson’s return to the ring since his exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020, which ended in a draw. Tyson boasts an impressive professional record, winning 50 of his 58 fights, with 44 victories by knockout. However, at 58 years old, Tyson will face a new challenge against Paul, who holds a 9-1 record.

As the new date approaches, boxing fans eagerly await the showdown, anticipating whether Tyson’s promise to knock out Paul will come to fruition.
