Jake Paul provides huge update on potential Mike Tyson replacement opponent

Jake Paul provides huge update on potential Mike Tyson replacement opponentEsther Lin/MVP
The pair are set to clash later this year.

Jake Paul has insisted that there's no backup opponent in place if Mike Tyson endures another medical issue ahead of his fight with ‘The Problem Child.’  

The pair meet in November, but their original meeting scheduled for this past summer had to be postponed due an ulcer problem endured by Tyson. 

Paul heads into his fight with Tyson a significant favourite largely due to his youth, but he’s expected to receive a significant test from the former heavyweight champion.  

Tyson has not had a professional fight since 2005, but Paul has no concerns about his next opponent pulling out of the contest. 

"I don't have concern," said Paul when speaking to TMZ regarding the current situation. 

"He's doing great. He's super healthy behind the scenes and feeling great. So that's what we are focusing on and there is not a back-up currently."
