Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but you'll still be knocked out. I appreciate everyone's patience and can't wait to deliver a great performance later this year."


Paul added, "I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses. I want to face Iron Mike at his best. Paul vs. Tyson will be a historic fight, and I promise to bring my best."


The fight was set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. A new date will be announced on June 7.
