In late May Tyson had a medical episode when his ulcer flared up. On May 31, he announced the fight was being postponed but sounded optimistic it would happen at some point.

"Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end, you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good. I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year."
