      It probably won’t even happen. Tyson has ulcers, and recently suffered a flare up that delayed training and the fight’s date. My dad suffered from ulcers and doctors were constantly in a scare that he would get a perforated intestine wall. At 65 that was actually what took him out, a fissure killed him in less than a week despite the doctors rushing for an emergency surgery, and he wasn’t training to receive punches in the abdomen. When you are old, and Tyson is 57, things take significantly more time to heal, and the intestine is one of the slowest healing tissues in the body, I was told. Too many acids, bacteria, etc. circulating there. No doctor worth their medical title will ever let him train with an ulcer, much less fight.
