Doctors are still worried about the health of the former absolute world champion.
Mike Tyson may not get into the ring against blogger Jake Paul. In order for the fight to take place, the former absolute world heavyweight champion must prove that he is ready for it not only mentally, but also physically.
The match may be canceled if Iron Mike does not pass the medical tests prescribed in the rules of the match. Marca reports this in relation to USA Today Sports.
In particular, TDLR Public Relations Manager Tela Mange explained that fighters over 36 years of age must provide positive electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram results. An EEG is used to diagnose brain disorders, while an ECG is used to detect heart problems.
If the former legendary boxer fails the test, the medical commission will simply ban the fight.
We remind you that Tyson and Paul are scheduled to meet in a boxing match on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, America. The match will be streamed on Netflix.
Mike Tyson will be 58 years old by the time he enters the ring, 31 years older than Paul.
In the past, the doctor had warned Mike Tyson about the mortal danger of fighting with a blogger.
