A TOP doctor has asked Mike Tyson to postpone his fight with Jake Paul after he suffered an ulcer flare-up.
The former heavyweight champion will face Paul in Texas on July 20th.
But he suffered a medical emergency this week aboard a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.
Tyson’s publicist revealed that he became nauseous and dizzy as a result of an ulcer flare-up.
Iron Mike, 57, was treated by paramedics but was considered in good condition after receiving medical attention.
However, gastroenterologist Lawrence Kosinski, who worked as a doctor for 40 years, warned Tyson against fighting Paul, who is 30 years his junior.
He warned Tyson, saying USA today: “I don’t know how you keep putting your body through intense training for this if you have an ulcer.
“If it’s an ulcer, you have to respect it.”
Kosinski advised Tyson to take time off from training, saying it can take four to six weeks for an ulcer to heal.
Two other gastroenterologists said rigorous training without giving the ulcer time to heal could cause bleeding or perforation that requires emergency surgery.
