There will be no meeting in the ring between the former boxing world champion Mike Tyson and YouTuber Jake Paul, at least not now.

The meeting is being postponed due to Tyson's failing health.

Tyson was struck with nausea and dizziness during a flight last weekend and according to the organizers, Tyson has been ordered to do minimal training over the next few weeks.

The meeting was scheduled for July 20 in Texas.

"Mike and Jake have agreed that it is reasonable and fair for both boxers to have equal training opportunities before this important match to be able to perform at their highest level," the organizers write in a statement.

The match between the two has been approved by the Texas Boxing Federation, but there have also been voices raised that it could pose a health risk for the soon-to-be 58-year-old Tyson.

A new date will be presented on June 7.
