Paul dismisses speculation about fight postponement, promises a knockout performance.
Jake Paul Made waves on Monday afternoon with his first public comment since details emerged about Mike Tyson’s medical scare during a cross-country flight. Tyson, the legendary boxer, experienced nausea and dizziness due to an ulcer flare-up just 30 minutes before landing in Los Angeles from Miami.
Tyson’s reps assured The Post that the iconic fighter is now “doing great,” but the incident understandably raised concerns about his upcoming bout with Paul, scheduled for July 20 in Arlington, Texas.
Paul didn’t hold back in addressing the rumors. “You love to make s-t up before knowing the facts for clicks/likes. Nothing changed,” he fired off on X. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been hyping up the fight, which will be streamed live on Netflix, and he’s not about to let anything derail it.
