In the lead-up to his much-anticipated exhibition match against social media sensation Jake Paul, boxing legend Mike Tyson experienced a medical scare while traveling from Miami to Los Angeles. Tyson, 57, required medical attention after boarding the flight on Sunday evening.
According to reports, an announcement was made on the plane asking if there was a doctor on board, as Tyson became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up approximately 30 minutes before landing. The flight was delayed by two hours in Miami, but Tyson's representatives have confirmed that the delay was a result of an air conditioning issue, not the medical incident.
Upon landing in Los Angeles, paramedics boarded the plane to attend to Tyson. Despite the scare, Tyson's team has assured the public that he is now "doing great" and is eager to continue preparations for his fight against Paul.
The event, which is scheduled for July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is set to be a highly anticipated spectacle. The bout will be sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation as a professional fight, and both fighters will wear 14-ounce gloves for eight two-minute rounds.
This incident comes just two months before the fight, as Tyson gears up to step back into the ring against a much younger opponent. Despite the age gap of 31 years, both Tyson and Paul have expressed their eagerness to face off in what promises to be an exciting event for fans of boxing and social media alike.
