But Netflix, which was due to broadcast the fight, confirmed it had been canceled after Tyson suffered a medical emergency earlier this week.
Iron Mike was on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles when he felt nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up.
Paramedics rushed to the plane before it was confirmed he was feeling “very well”.
However, his fight against Paul was postponed on medical advice.
Both have suggested the fight will return at a later date.
With Tyson out of the ring, the internet star nicknamed Problem Child is looking for a new opponent.
And his older brother Logan cheekily tweeted: “So Mike Tyson is out? I’ll step in and we can settle this once and for all.”
Jake responded, “Mommy doesn’t want me to knock you out, but fuck it. The loser has to change his surname.”

Fans were excited about the possibility of Paul or nothing, with one saying: “I prefer this to Mike Tyson, to be honest.”
Another added: “This is the low-key grand finale of what YouTube boxing has become.”
A third commented: “This makes sense for Netflix.”
Jake’s fight with Tyson was controversially sanctioned by authorities as a professional fight.
He had a chance to improve on his 9-1 record, with his only loss coming to Tommy Fury in February of last year.
As for Logan, he’s only had two professional fights – a win over Dillon Danis and a loss to KSI.
He also entered the ring with legend Floyd Mayweather for an exhibition match in 2021.
But Logan is a professional wrestler signed to WWE.
Despite the expectation of a fight with just Paul, UFC cult hero Chael Sonnen claims to be Tyson’s replacement.
Controversial boxer Ryan Garcia also said he would “stand in” to fight Jake.
Garcia is currently embroiled in a drug scandal over a positive test taken following his victory over Devin Haney, which may now be overturned.
Former super middleweight champion Sakio Bika says he is also on standby for Jake, revealing: “If Jake Paul is serious about fighting a former champion, look for someone much younger or active in the last decade.
