It appears Netflix might have an intriguing option to replace Mike Tyson.
Last week, Tyson suffered a health scare when his stomach ulcer flared up after he boarded a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.
On Friday, Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions announced that the Tyson-Jake Paul fight was postponed due to Tyson’s being unable to train due to his ulcer.
“The upcoming highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will unfortunately be postponed. During a follow-up consultation on Thursday with medical professionals on his recent ulcer flare-up, the recommendation is for Mike Tyson to do minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations.”
“Both Mike and Jake are in agreement that it is only fair to ensure that both athletes have equal training time to prepare for this important match and are able to compete at the highest level. The health and well-being of athletes is our top priority, and we fully support Mike in taking the necessary time to allow him to perform at the level he expects of himself.”
While there are still questions about whether the 57-year-old Tyson should be allowed to fight due to his medical scare, Logan Paul has offered to fight his own brother.

It is worth noting that Logan has teased a fight against his brother in the past.

“I’m a showman, so is Jake, and we had a little rivalry on YouTube that has never been matched and I don’t believe it ever will.
“Our diss tracks against each other have like 300million views, it was like we were the two brothers that despised each other online.
“And I think we can probably make a similar wave if Jake and I ever fought each other.
“I’d go ahead and say Logan Paul versus Jake Paul would be one of the greatest, and biggest and highest grossing pay-per-view combat sports events of all time.”
If Tyson isn’t able to fight, the only fight that is on par with Tyson-Paul would be Logan vs Jake.
