Mike Tyson suffers medical emergency just weeks before Jake Paul fight

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul collide on July 20th at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The boxing legend reportedly became nauseous and dizzy on board a recent flight when flying from Miami to LA and it is believed to be caused by an ulcer flare up.

Paramedics rushed to the plane to provide medical assistance to Tyson while an announcement calling for a doctor was made in the plane, as per eyewitness.

A member of Tyson’s team has provided an update on the former undisputed heavyweight king.

They told the New York Post: “He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing.

“He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”

According to the Sun an eyewitness said: “He was in first class, but we were an exit row.”

“They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter. [The stewardess] said something like, ‘He’s a really important passenger so we wanna make sure he’s OK.’ I knew it was him, but I just mouthed the words ‘Mike Tyson’ and she nodded her head yes.”

Much has been made of Tyson’s ill health ahead of his clash with the YouTuber-turned-boxer and the fight announcement has been controversial due to the age gap and worries over Tyson’s well being.
