Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is a huge event.

Jake Paul is back in action this weekend as he faces Mike Perry, live on DAZN.

Although the popular YouTuber is ready to fight, he was originally scheduled to be taking on Mike Tyson this weekend but that fight is no longer happening.

Here's all you need to know about the postponed Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight.

Why was Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson cancelled?

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson was set to be one of the biggest fights of the summer as "The Problem Child" was planning to step into the ring with one of the most menacing heavyweights of all time.

Scheduled to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, the show was intended to be huge with Katie Taylor taking on Amanda Serrano on the undercard in an eagerly anticipated rematch.

The whole event was called off when Tyson revealed he'd been suffering issues from an ulcer flare up which meant he wasn't able to train.

Is Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson still going ahead?

Despite the cancellation, the show will still go on with November 15 the new date. The event is still scheduled for the AT&T Stadium and the Taylor vs. Serrano bout is also set to take place on the show.

Paul will also have to deal with the threat of Mike Perry who'll be hopeful he can derail the plans of his imminent rival.
