Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has shared the details of a stomach ulcer attack he experienced at the end of May, which led to the postponement of his fight against Jake Paul from July to November of this year.

I asked the doctor, 'Am I going to die?' I lost 25 pounds in 11 days. Couldn't eat. Only liquids. I had, like, eight blood transfusions. The doctor said I lost half my blood. I almost died.
Tyson is set to fight Paul on a boxing night of November 16 in Arlington, USA.
His last ring appearance was against Roy Jones in a November 2020 exhibition match, which went the full distance and ended in a draw. Tyson holds a record of 50 wins (44 by knockout) and six losses.
