MIKE TYSON left Jake Paul “p****d” for his behavior after pulling out of the fight.
The boxing great would face YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul in a controversial showdown on July 20 in Texas.
But Tyson was forced to withdraw after suffering an ulcer outbreak while flying from Miami to Los Angeles.
The fight – scrutinized amid a 30-year age gap – has been rescheduled for November 15.
Tyson is recovering and is expected to return to training – but after living a busy life recently, this has left Paul less than impressed.
Paul’s business partner Nakisa Bidarian said in MMA time: “He’s doing really well and Jake is upset because he sees him in Europe, living the life, making appearances, celebrating his birthday and he’s like, ‘I thought he was hurt, what’s going on?’
“I spoke to the Tyson team yesterday and they said he is back training, not boxing, but strength and conditioning and he feels great.”
Tyson, 58, retired in 2005 but returned 15 years later for an exhibition with Roy Jones Jr, 55, which ended in a draw after eight rounds.
Meanwhile, Paul is 9-1 in the ring, with his only loss coming to Tommy Fury, 25, in 2023.
He will now face former UFC star turned boxer Mike Perry, 32, on July 20th.

But as things stand, Paul, 27, is still scheduled to face Tyson while Bidarian has been defending the fight for ages.
He said: “Anyone can get an ulcer or an injury. “Mike Tyson and Jake Paul make sense because of their age, from my perspective.
“If Mike was in his early 30s, given Jake’s experience, there was no point in this fight. Age is the equalizing factor.
“When you look at Mike Tyson at 27, he was 40-1. Jake Paul is 27 years old, he is 9-1.
“Jake Paul has been a pro for four years, at that time Mike Tyson had been a pro for 14 years.
“What makes it exciting and real is that there is a chance that either of them will lose.
“If you ask the vast majority of the public, everyone thinks Mike Tyson is going to knock out Jake Paul.
“I think as long as he has a clean bill of health, which he did, and he will have 100 percent if we move forward with November 15th, then of course this fight should happen.”
