(Reuters) - Mike Tyson and Jake Paul's hotly-anticipated fight is being pushed back from its July 20 date due to the former heavyweight champion's recent ulcer flare up, promoters said on Friday.
Medical professionals recommended Tyson, 57, does minimal light training over the next few weeks as he recovers before returning to full training with no limitations, Paul's Most Valuable Promotions said in a statement.
