A bout originally scheduled for July 20 was postponed to Friday night after Tyson had to be treated for a stomach ulcer when he fell ill on a flight.<\/p>\n<p>Tyson said in a documentary promoting the fight that he lost 26 pounds while recovering, but Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder with Paul of Most Valuable Promotions, said Tyson had been cleared medically for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Bidarian also said Tyson was going through the same regular medical checkups of any sanctioned pro fight in Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Several states wouldn\u2019t sanction the bout. Texas agreed to a fight that was eight rounds instead of 10 or 12, with two-minute rounds instead of three, and heavier gloves designed to lessen the power of punches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s cute,\u201d Paul said of the terse Tyson. \u201cI fear no man, so I want him to be that old savage Mike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul couldn\u2019t even get Tyson to respond by wearing what the 27-year-old said was a \u201cdiamond-spiked ear cover.\u201d It was Paul\u2019s jab at Tyson over the Hall of Famer infamously biting the ear of Evander Holyfield in a 1997 fight.<\/p>\n<p>Tyson did get briefly riled up when somebody asked twice what he would do if he lost. His last sanctioned bout was in 2005. Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not going to lose,\u201d Tyson said, his voice rising the second time it was asked. \u201cDid you hear what I said?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyson was 50-6 with 44 knockouts before retiring 19 years ago. Paul is 10-1 with seven knockouts in less than five years as a pro, facing mostly mixed martial artists and journeymen boxers.<\/p>\n<p>The fight is the first combat sports event to be streamed on Netflix. It will be available at no additional cost to the more than 280 million Netflix subscribers globally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Mauritius Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
