Everyone has same concern after Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight is postponed

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson is off for the foreseeable future after Tyson had to postpone his participation.

A few days ago, he had a medical emergency on a plane bound for Los Angeles and despite him declaring that he was 'now feeling 100 percent', it seems as though he very much wasn't.

According to his representatives, Iron Mike was on a flight from Miami to LA when he started to feel nauseous and dizzy.

The plane's crew asked if there was a doctor on board and paramedics attended to Tyson when the flight touched down, and the cause was attributed to 'an ulcer flare up'.

Netflix later announced that the fight between Tyson and Paul had been postponed, so it won't be happening on 20 July as previously scheduled and will instead take place later on this year.

Jake Paul said he was 'heartbroken' and 'speechless' at this turn of events and that his opponent's health was important to him, but a lot of people all share the same concern.

See, if Tyson and Paul step into the ring later on this year, whichever way you slice it, that's a 27-year-old man fighting a 58-year-old.

Mike Tyson might be a boxing legend but he has not been in the ring for some time and there's a reason you don't see many boxers in their late 50s still trying to do it.

Plenty of boxing fans shared their concern that 'Mike Tyson was too damn old to take this fight'.

Another said 'don't care how big his muscles are' and that he was 'too old' for all of this, while a third responded to the news that the boxing match would be postponed on health grounds by saying 'what did you expect'.

Whatever a fighter's reputation, experience and strength, there's a reason why boxing is a young man's game and plenty have been worried that something could go quite wrong.

"This fight should NOT happen imo," someone declared online, and was met with agreement from another who said that 'Tyson should stay retired'.

Some took aim at Paul himself and the way a fight between him and a man who would be 58 with health problems when in the ring was still being touted as a big event.

"You're fighting a nearly 60-year-old man whose health is not the best..." was another's contribution, while someone else said 'it's time for someone to step in and say enough is enough' as they described the sport of boxing as 'f**ked'.
