In May 2024, Mike Tyson experienced a health issue that led to an ulcer, causing him to postpone his scheduled fight against Jake Paul, originally set for July 20. The incident occurred during a flight from Los Angeles to Miami. Tyson, now 58, attributed his health problems to a poor diet, stating he had been consuming too much unhealthy food. He has since adopted a cleaner diet, avoiding processed foods, and is currently ulcer-free. The fight has been rescheduled for November 15 at AT&T Stadium, and Tyson is preparing seriously for the bout. He expressed that he is not concerned about how this fight might affect his legacy, emphasizing that legacy is tied to ego and public perception, which he believes holds no value after death. Tyson is also promoting his LF*GO energy supplement brand, which he claims will help him focus during the fight. Jake Paul, 31 years younger than Tyson, has shown confidence in his training and has made a wager that adds an interesting twist to their upcoming match, indicating the competitive nature of the event.
