KSI and Dillon Danis seem to be the biggest haters on the internet as of today! It’s one thing to show concern for Mike Tyson’s age in the upcoming fight against Jake Paul, and something else entirely to mislead people! The former heavyweight champion is geared to enter the ring against ‘The Problem Child’ on July 20 in Texas. However!

The latest reports have revealed that Tyson, 57, has suffered a medical emergency during a Miami to Los Angeles flight on Sunday, raising questions about his ability to fight. However, Tyson’s representatives have explained that the former champion is doing better in a statement on Monday. Despite this, KSI and Dillon Danis shared an old picture of Tyson in a wheelchair being escorted by someone else. 

So, with the fight right around the corner, Most Valuable Promotions, co-founded by Jake Paul and his business partner Nakisa Bidarian, have issued a statement condemning both KSI and Dillon Danis on social media earlier today. MVP wrote, “KSI and Dilon Danis are very similar people. They both posted a 2 year old picture of Mike Tyson to mislead their audience referring to Tyson’s health Mike Tyson is feeling great after an ulcer flare up on a cross country flight.”

This was further backed by Tyson’s representatives, who said, “He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.” Meanwhile, they also debunked rumors of the flight carrying Tyson getting delayed due to the situation. 

“It’s false reporting that his medical attention caused the flight delay. This two-hour delay was due to an air conditioning issue on the aircraft,” said Tyson’s representatives. Regardless, even if it wasn’t as serious as many initially thought, the incident started a widespread panic among fans. However, Paul isn’t about to take it easy on the former world champion! 

Jake Paul says nothing has changed after the incident with Mike Tyson 

As the update about Tyson’s medical emergency started spreading like wildfire on social media, Paul hopped on X to share his thoughts about the situation. Many had thought that the fight might get canceled, but Paul had something else on his mind. Amidst the chatter about Tyson’s age and the recent health concerns, Paul has made it clear that the fight is still on.

“You love to make s**t up before knowing the facts for clicks/likes. Nothing changed,” Paul wrote in his X account. This coupled with an interview with TMZ on 24 May, when Paul was asked whether he would take it easy on Tyson because of his age, Paul had said, “Absolutely not.” Justifying his statement, Paul claimed Tyson would knock him out if he had the opportunity, and that too, “in an embarrassing fashion.”

It seems KSI and Danis’ dream to see Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight fall apart has shattered, as Most Valuable Promotions called them out for misleading the fan base. However, people will only get to know about Tyson’s readiness when the fight actually happens. Do you think Tyson should fight? What happens if something similar happens to Tyson in the ring? Will Paul stop fighting or use the opportunity to drop Tyson?
