Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Jake Paul commented on his bout against Tyson getting postponed.

“I definitely was devastated and pretty sad, because I wanted this fight to happen [in July]. I had to take a couple steps back, meditate, and re-shift my focus and my purpose. I’m still training, still getting better on a daily basis because I’m committed to the goal of becoming a world champion," Paul said.
