He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”Ulcer flare up symptoms include feeling nauseous, vomiting, bloating, belching and gas pain as well as chest pain and fatigue.On May 28, Tyson gave an update on his condition and even took a little jab at Paul.He wrote on X: “Now feeling 100% even though I don’t need to be to beat Jake Paul.”Fans were quick to praise the fighter and said they were looking forward to the bout in July.“Haha, I can’t wait to watch this fight. One more KO for Iron Mike,” one fan commented.

I remember staying up till the early hours in the UK with my dad to watch your fights. I’ve always liked you and always will. Your life story is truly inspirational. Respect.”Despite Tyson and his team confirming he is fine, old images of the boxer in a wheelchair have begun circulating on social media.The images are from two years ago and Tyson, at the time, explained he had had a flare up of sciatica.Speaking to Newsmax, he said: “I have sciatica every now and then, it flares up. When it flares up, I can’t even talk! Thank God it’s the only health problem I have. I’m splendid now. Everybody in my house is truly blessed and we’re all very grateful for whatever we have.”

Some users have even gone as far to call Paul’s acts disrespectful to Tyson. (X)The 27-year-old Paul has been known for his antics and his face off with the 57-year-old Tyson has got people on social media scratching their heads and asking what he’s doing.Some users have even gone as far to call Paul’s acts disrespectful to Tyson.In a clip that has been viewed more than 3.5 million times, in a stare down, Paul is seen pulling an exaggerated historic English boxing stance while Tyson essentially stares back in disbelief.After a couple seconds Tyson is seen shaking his head likely telling Paul he simply isn’t intimidated. The former heavyweight champion then threw up his hands and turned his back on Paul to walk away before returning to stand next to him.Paul continued to make hand gestures to the unphazed Tyson.“The disrespect here not only towards an elder but also a legend in the sport is infuriating,” one user commented.

Tyson would literally have killed him in his prime, no questions asked,” added another.“Jake’s lost the fight even if he wins. You can tell a real G like Mike apart from a wannabe with some skill. Mike is a pure terminator warrior. Jake just has skill and youth,” commented a third.“He really thinks this is a game many young men have acted like this and found out. He will find out that Iron Mike Tyson is a full grown Silver back Gorilla,” another commented.Whoever fans think will end up the victor, they will all have to wait until July 20 to see who comes out on top.The fight – which has been sanctioned as a professional fight – will feature eight rounds, consisting of two minutes each, with Most Valuable Promotions, a company co-owned by Paul, promoting the event.
