Jake Paul and Mike Tyson were due to collide on July 20 but ‘Iron Mike’s ulcer flare-up meant the fight was postponed.
‘The Problem Child’ will now fight the former undisputed heavyweight champion on November 15 live on Netflix.
But the YouTuber come boxer is apparently ‘p*****’ at Tyson after his recent actions.

Paul’s manager Nakisa Bidarian said when speaking on the MMA Hour:
“He’s doing great and Jake is p***** because he sees him in Europe, living life, doing appearances, celebrating his birthday and he’s like, ‘I thought he was injured, what’s going on?'”
“I talked to team Tyson yesterday and they said he’s back, not doing boxing training but doing strength and conditioning and he feels great.”
“Anyone can get an ulcer, or an injury,” he continued.
He then went on to explain why the fight between the heavyweights makes sense.
He said: “Mike Tyson and Jake Paul makes sense because of the age, from my perspective. If Mike was in his early 30s, given Jake’s experience, there’s no sense to that fight. Age is the equalising factor. When you look at Mike Tyson at age 27, he was 40-1. Jake Paul is 27, he’s 9-1.
“Jake Paul’s been a professional for four years, at that point, Mike Tyson was a professional for 14 years. What makes it exciting and real is there’s a chance that either guy can lose. If you ask the vast majority of the public, everyone thinks that Mike Tyson is gonna knock out Jake Paul. I think as long as he has a clean bill of health, which he did, and he 100 per cent will if we move forward with November 15, then of course that fight should happen.”
