A fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is under risk of being called off just hours before it’s due to start.

The YouTuber is due to take on Tyson in a huge boxing match that has been highly anticipated by fans.

The fight will be available to watch live on Netflix but could be called off, according to reports within the industry.

The two are expected to go head to head in the ring on Friday night (November 15) at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

However, whether or not the fight actually goes ahead will all boil down to two tests that Tyson will need to take in order to compete.

It’s been said that the professional boxer agreed to it months ago as a safety precaution.

These include a brain test (EEG) and a heart test (EKG).

Tyson hasn’t been sanctioned for a professional fight in two decades but these tests are required by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

The fight was originally meant to go ahead in July but was pushed back after Tyson experienced health issues.

But if Tyson fails either of the two tests, then the rescheduled match cannot happen.

Mike Tyson's health

In a recent Netflix documentary special released ahead of the fight, Tyson revealed he suffered a serious ulcer flare-up while flying.

In the streaming platform’s doc, the boxer revealed that he was ‘throwing up blood’ and feared he was 'going to die’.

He said: “A week and a half ago I was training and I was doing great but then all of a sudden I started feeling tired. I was explaining to my trainer, ‘I don't know what's wrong with me’.

“Coming here from Miami on the plane, I went to the bathroom, and I threw up blood. The next thing I know I'm on the floor, I was defecating tar.

“So, I came here, and they found I had a big ulcer, two-and-a-half inches, and it was bleeding. All my friends were calling me like I was dying.”

Reacting to Tyson's health bombshell, Paul said: “When I received the news that he was out and not able to fight, I was just numb, I was just like, ‘f***’.”

Paul and Tyson are expected to do their ring walks at 11pm ET on Friday (November 15).

LADbible Group has contacted representatives for Mike Tyson and Netflix for a comment.
