Jake Paul has a back-up plan for the clash with Mike Tyson if he’s unable to fight him on November 15.
The fight between the pair was postponed due to ‘Iron Mike’ suffering an ulcer flare-up leaving him unable to prepare for the original July 20 date.

But as per a report from World Boxing News, former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is ready to step in for the November date should Tyson pull out again.
The Mexican boasts a record of 53-6-1 but has lost three of his last five fights including against Anderson Silva in 2021.
