Even with only a few days remaining, reports from the industry suggest that Jake Paul's massive boxing match against legendary athlete Mike Tyson may still be cancelled live on Netflix. And it all boils down to Iron Mike passing two particular tests while everyone waits for everything to go according to plan.
Millions of people worldwide are expected to turn on Netflix and watch the bout live on their smartphones or smart TVs as the fighters are scheduled to square off at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, early on Saturday morning, November 16. The fight was rescheduled from July because Tyson "thought he was going to die" after a terrifying health ordeal.
Both fighters are now confident enough to set the other aside, and they are ready to rock and roll. However, according to Boxing Kingdom, if Tyson fails either of the two tests that must be completed before he steps into the ring, the fight will not take place.
Key tests Mike Tyson must pass to fight Jake Paul.
According to reports, boxer Tyson, the former heavyweight world champion, needs to pass two health-related tests. According to reports, he had consented to them months prior as part of pre-fight safety measures. Tyson will need to pass both an EKG and an EEG test before he can enter the ring.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation approved and mandated the tests. It has been 20 years since Tyson was sanctioned for a professional fight. Ahead of the fight, Tyson disclosed in a recent Netflix documentary special that he experienced a severe flare-up of his ulcer while flying. The boxer said he was "throwing up blood" and worried that he was "going to die" in the documentary.

“I was training and doing well a week and a half ago when I suddenly started to feel exhausted, he said. I was telling my trainer that I had no idea what was 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.”

Paul's response to Tyson's health bombshell was, "I was just numb, I was just like, 'f**k' when I received the news that he was out and not able to fight."
