Mike Tyson will only be assessed the day before his fight with Jake Paul despite ongoing concerns over the 58-year-old’s health, according to reports.

The fight between Tyson and Paul was due to take place in July, but just two months after the bout was announced, the two men were forced to postpone proceedings.

Mike’ suffered a medical scare in May which derailed the showdown in Texas. However, a new date of November 15 was later agreed.

But, fans remained concerned about Tyson’s health given he will be 58 when the fight takes place at the AT&T Stadium – the home of the Dallas Cowboys.

They were hoping the Texas Licensing Regulators would monitor Tyson closely before the bout takes place later this year.

However, according to World Boxing News, the Texas Licensing Regulators will not only assess Tyson until the day before the fight.

Therefore, there is a high risk that the bout could be cancelled just 24 hours before Iron Mike is set to step back into the ring.

The result of the assessment could see the fight be downgraded from a professional one to an exhibition or even cancelled.

However, Tyson is confident the bout will go ahead as planned and insists he is ready to dismantle Paul despite suffering a medical emergency during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles earlier this year.

Tyson became nauseous and dizzy, forcing flight staff to ask passengers if there was a doctor on board to provide assistance.

Paramedics boarded the plane, which had already been delayed by two hours in Miami because of the heat, once it touched down in Los Angeles to give treatment.

The incident came just two months before the boxing legend was initially due to fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer in Arlington.

‘Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,’ his representatives told The New York Post shortly after the incident took place.

Tyson admitted he uses marijuana daily but has given the drug up while training to fight Paul. He is also said to be abstaining for sex

‘He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.’

Sources claim the cabin crew ‘issued an announcement asking for a doctor 30 minutes before landing and the message even came on everyone’s screens.’

‘He was in first class, but we were an exit row,’ an eyewitness added. ‘They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter.

‘[The stewardess] said something like, “He’s a really important passenger so we wanna make sure he’s OK.”

‘I knew it was him they were referring to, but I just mouthed the words “Mike Tyson” and she nodded her head to say yes.’

Once the plane landed at LAX, there was another delay of around 25 minutes while the paramedics treated Tyson.

Tyson has given marijuana up while training to fight Paul because it is on the list of banned substances used by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

He also revealed he’s given up sex temporarily as part of his training regime to ensure he is at his most dangerous on fight night.
