Tyson was forced to pull out of his fight against Paul this summer after recently suffering a health scare and has set a new date for the controversial bout
Mike Tyson has demanded for his rescheduled Jake Paul fight to take place between October and December.
Paul confirmed Tyson's new date demand whilst breaking his silence on the fight cancellation. "Obviously, devastating news. I'm heartbroken, speechless, gutted. You said you wanna do this in Q4, I'm ready, you just need a little bit of time, so I'm ready whenever you are," he said. Tyson will have to pass brain and heart scans to be eligible to compete because of his age. The former heavyweight champion was set to celebrate his 58th birthday just weeks before the ill-fated fight date. Paul showed his class by adding: "I do value Mike's health first and foremost, love that guy. I have so much respect for him and I want Mike to be healthy."
