Jake Paul-Mike Tyson update: Latest on fight date, timeline and Tyson's health

Everyone's worst fear has come true. The biggest worry leading up to this fight was whether or not Tyson would be medically cleared, and it seems that he is at the moment in no position to fight.

In all fairness, Tyson's team and all reports claim that this was a flare-up, and that Tyson had been feeling as good as ever right before. However, other reports would indicate otherwise.

As of right now, no new date for the fight has been given. That said, on Friday, May 31, both Paul and Tyson said that they will announce a new date for the fight the following week, which would be in the coming days.

We will update when there is a definitive date.

The scare wound up delaying passengers from leaving the plane for 25 minutes while medical professionals tended to Tyson. However, after all was said and done, Tyson's representatives said that the former heavyweight champ was "doing great."

It is believed that this is the event that ultimately led to the fight's postponement. In a statement from the fight promoter, it read, "During a follow-up consultation on Thursday with medical professionals on his recent ulcer flare-up, the recommendation is for Mike Tyson to do minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations."
