The YouTuber turned boxer is yet to confirm the news he will fight Perry next month

Tyson was previously forced to apologize to fans after he suffered an ulcer flare up, leading doctors to advise he postpone the bout.

‘I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time,’ he said in a statement earlier this month.

‘My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will be back to my full training schedule soon. Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good.’

Although a new date has been announced, some commentators have expressed hesitation about whether the fight will ever take place.

‘Mike Tyson is 57 years old; he’s almost 58 years old. They’re saying it’s a minor ulcer issue, but I don’t think anything’s minor at that stage of your life, especially when it comes to putting yourself in the proper shape to fight a professional boxing match,’ Sports Illustrated reporter Chris Mannix said during an appearance on ‘The Rich Eisen Show’ last week.

He went on, ‘There is genuine concern from people that are also on the card — I mean, there are another number of fights that are also on the card — about this specific card moving forward.’

‘It’s certainly not out of the question. But again, there are people involved who are expressing skepticism that this specific fight is going to move forward.’
