Mike Tyson has revealed what caused him to develop an ulcer in May and ultimately postponed his long-awaited fight with Jake Paul.

Initially, ‘Iron Mike’ was going to fight Paul on July 20, but experienced a health scare on a flight from Los Angeles to Miami that forced him to postpone the fight.

With the fight now scheduled for November 15 at AT&T Stadium, Tyson revealed that he currently has no ulcers and said his diet was to blame for his previous health problems.

“I was eating too much bad food and stuff, and I got sick,” she exclusively told DailyMail.com.

Tyson, 58, said he was now avoiding processed foods and “eating clean” ahead of his fight with Paul, who is 31 years his junior.

The former undisputed world heavyweight champion was also asked how his fight with Paul could affect his legacy, although it is clear that he is not concerned about the opinions that may be formed about him.

‘I’m dead. I can’t value what anyone thinks of me when I’m dead, so it doesn’t mean anything to me.
