Dillon Danis claims to know 'real reason' Mike Tyson fight was cancelled after speaking to 'his close friend'

Dillon Danis claims to know the real 'reason' as to why Mike Tyson's fight against Jake Paul was postponed.

Tyson was due to return to the professional ranks against Paul on July 20.

But his heavyweight showdown with the YouTuber-turned-boxer was postponed.

It comes after the 57-year-old suffered a 'medical emergency' on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.

He was hit with an ulcer flare and became nauseous and dizzy.

The former world champion received urgent medical attention and a few days later, his summer bout with the 27-year-old was cancelled.

An extraordinary opponent has stepped forward to replace the boxing legend.

There's hope among the camps that Paul vs. Tyson can be rescheduled but fresh concerns have been raised, according to a report.

Danis, however, took to social media to claim he knows the real 'reason' behind the postponement of Paul vs. Tyson.

He referenced UFC CEO Dana White, who had a telling response, and called 'The Problem Child' a 'scumbag' in a stinging post on social media.

On X, he wrote: "I know the reason Mike Tyson had to postpone the fight. I spoke to his close friend, and like Dana White said, he knows but doesn’t want to get involved in respect to Mike.

"It’s actually truly sad what’s going on. Jake Paul, you’re truly a scumbag for knowing what he’s going through and not ending this."

Danis, who hasn't fought since his disqualification defeat to Logan Paul last October, has exchanged verbal jabs with Paul over the years.

The Brazilian jiu-jitsu star appears set to return to action, having shared the ring with one of the Paul brothers.

He's teased a massive fight, with a clash against former UFC veteran and current Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship star Mike Perry mooted.

But Danis has also claimed to be facing a former world champion, which would rule out Perry.
