Paul, 27, and Tyson, 57, will still fight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, as originally planned.

The fight was postponed last week after Iron Mike suffered a health scare.

Tyson fell ill while flying from Miami to Los Angeles due to an ulcer outbreak.

Afterwards, a member of his team insisted he was “doing very well”, but doctors deemed him unfit to fight.

Instead, he is now undergoing a period of rest and recovery before resuming training.

November’s main event will be Tyson’s first professional fight in 19 years.

And he will be 58 when that date arrives.

Reflecting on the postponement after it was announced, social media star Paul said: “Obviously devastating news.

“You just need a little time, so I’ll be ready when you are.

Comparison of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson’s lifestyles

ONE is a notorious YouTuber turned boxer who has taken the sport by storm.

The other terrified everyone in the ring in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming famous for biting off an opponent’s ear.

Iron Mike has rebuilt his life after wasting a £300 million fortune on a cannabis empire and is a huge supporter of the drug.

And as Paul continued to rise through the ranks, he spent money on a fleet of incredible cars.

Whereas Tyson had more money than sense until a £15 million debt made him part with his beloved car collection.

Paul now lives in a luxurious £13million mansion in Puerto Rico after escaping his busy life in Los Angeles.

But these days, Tyson lounges at his Las Vegas property he paid £2.5 million for with wife Lakiha, who he married in 2009.

Paul is not married yet, but he is in love with his speed skater girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam.

She’ll be by his side when her man puts his 9-1 boxing record on the line against two-time heavyweight champion Tyson on July 20.
