Jake Paul apparently has a replacement opponent in mind now that Mike Tyson has to sit out a bit due to a recent health scare.
Last week, Tyson was forced off a plane after his stomach ulcer flared up.

Unfortunately Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will not face-off on July 20 as planned. Tyson’s recent ulcer flare up has limited his ability to train fully for the next few weeks.
The fight will be rescheduled for a date later this year after Mike’s able to resume training with no limitations and both fighters can have equal time to prepare for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup!
As of now, it’s currently unclear if Tyson will be able to fight, and Paul has a temporary solution to keep the July 20th event alive.
On Saturday, Paul suggested that fellow Youtuber and longtime rival KSI fight him on July 20th while Tyson recovers from his health scare.
KSI’s coach saying he is over 200lbs right now? So no weight excuses…
Let’s run it for July 20th and then Paul Tyson in October / November

KSI responded by shutting down a potential fight against Paul in July because he already has a boxing match lined up in the summer.
I’ve already got a fight lined up in August. Instead of you fighting an OAP at the end of the year (no one wants to see this), fight me in December instead. https://t.co/6SsReLIYkp
