Mike Tyson anticipates a return to the ring despite a stomach ulcer that prevented the July comeback.
Tyson planned to fight YouTuber Jake Paul, but the ulcer’s flare-up during a flight led medical staff to advise postponement.
Initially scheduled for seven weeks from now, the event is now expected between October and December.
However, specialists consulted by WBN doubt Tyson will ever be medically cleared to fight, as a solid punch could cause his ulcer to perforate, leaking digestive juices into the abdominal cavity and necessitating immediate surgery.
Despite the risks, Tyson remains optimistic about rescheduling the fight, thanking fans for their support and stating his intention to resume full training soon.
He assured fans of his health and warned Paul that a delay won’t prevent him from ultimately winning.
Jake Paul supports the postponement to ensure Tyson’s health, emphasizing his desire to face Tyson at his best.
He promised fans a memorable fight and declared his readiness to secure a victory.
If Tyson gets medical clearance, adjustments to the fight rules may be necessary to ensure his safety.
