Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has fully recovered from a recent medical emergency, reassuring fans of his well-being just days after being treated for an ulcer flare-up. The 57-year-old athlete took to social media to share his status, declaring, “Now feeling 100% even though I don’t need to be to beat Jake Paul.”
Despite the health scare, Tyson’s upcoming fight with Jake Paul is still on track for this summer. Paul himself confirmed the news on Twitter, dismissing any rumors of the bout being canceled. “You love to make s**t up before knowing the facts for clicks/likes. Nothing changed #PaulTyson,” the 27-year-old influencer tweeted.
