The highly anticipated boxing fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been postponed today due to health restrictions and doctor's advice for Tyson. Netflix has confirmed that a revised date for the fight will be announced next week.

The fight, which was scheduled to take place in late July, has now been postponed according to an official announcement from the Netflix X (formerly Twitter) account. "I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time," Tyson said in a statement to Netflix publication Tudum. "Unfortunately, I have been advised by my doctor to ease off my training for a few weeks due to a flare-up of my stomach ulcer, to rest and recover," he added, Tyson stressing the seriousness of his health condition, which will prevent him from training for a few days.

Paul expressed his disappointment, but also respected Tyson's decision to postpone the fight. "My fans know I don't want to see Iron Mike [Tyson] at his best, but make no mistake, when he steps in the ring with me, I'm ready to take my victory with a sensational finish," Paul said.

The official bout will consist of eight, two-minute rounds with 14-ounce gloves and no headgear between the fighters. It is a professional bout sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR), but fans eager to see the two face off on July 20 will have to wait a little longer.
