Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul match may not happen at all. Here's why

Michael Gerard Tyson, also known as Mike Tyson or "Iron Mike," is expected to return to the ring at the age of 58 next month. The former heavyweight champion, who reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990, is set to face Jake Paul in a highly anticipated match. The bout is scheduled to be shown on Netflix. However, according to a recent report, the November 15 match at AT&T Stadium may not take place.

According to USA Today, Mike Tyson experienced an "ulcer flareup" in May. The report, citing a gastroenterologist, noted that if Tyson is taking NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen, it could aggravate his ulcer issues.

The report further mentioned that Tyson is also dealing with age-related problems. Once dubbed "the baddest man on the planet," Tyson was seen using a cane in August due to back issues. He has previously stated that he does not need the money he would earn from the fight.
