Mike Tyson says he feels good.
Legendary boxer Mike Tyson was scheduled to face Jake Paul in a boxing match on July 20th. However, the bout was postponed when Tyson had a health scare that was attributed to an ulcer problem. The match is now scheduled for November 15th, and it will stream on Netflix.
Per ESPN, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul spoke at a press conference on the final day of Fanatics Fest NYC, and Tyson was asked to comment on why he was going through with the match despite his health concerns.
"Because I can. Who else can do it but me? Who else is he going to fight to make this happen? We've just got to listen to the facts. We've got a YouTuber fighting the greatest fighter that ever lived." Tyson said.
At the press conference, Tyson also noted that he started training again two or three weeks ago, and he stated that he was ready.
Tyson previously retired in 2005 but returned for an exhibition match in 2020. Meanwhile, Paul has racked up a 10-1 record. Heading into the match against Tyson, he expressed his confidence and highlighted how it would help him.
"Big moments, big pressure, big stages, one of the greatest to ever do it, more experience than me, more fights than me, I'm going to learn a lot in this fight and through this training camp. So, this is helping me in my future fights and everything that I want to accomplish," Paul said.
Paul also took a verbal job by asking Tyson whether his "tummy hurt." However, Tyson made it clear that he was feeling better after he dealt with a small setback.
"I had a small adversity. I got sick, but I'm better. I feel good," Tyson said.
