MMA fighter Dillon Danis has claimed to have inside information on why Mike Tyson‘s high-profile fight against Jake Paul was postponed as he hit out at the YouTuber.

The pair had been training for several months ahead of their scheduled July 20 clash at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, but a recent ulcer flare up left Tyson with worrying health issues.

The 58-year-old was unable to train and it was decided that the fight would be pushed back to a later date, despite the fact several health concerns have been raised about the former heavyweight champion.

Danis launched a scathing attack on Paul for refusing to call it quits on fighting Tyson, and the American claimed to have information that hasn’t yet been made public as to why it was postponed.

When announcing the delay, Most Valuable Promotions, who are staging the event, said that the new date for the Paul-Tyson fight is set to be revealed on Friday, June 7.
