Mike Tyson suffered a medical scare during a flight this weekend, and his fight with Jake Paul is thought to be in doubt.
The former World Champion was flying from Miami to Los Angeles on Saturday when he began feeling sick. An ulcer flare-up had him in so much pain, the airline staff had to call for any medical professionals on the flight to help.
According to InTouch, paramedics boarded the plane when it landed at LAX and treated Tyson on the spot.
“He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing,” one of his reps told TMZ Sports. “He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”

However, Paul has rubbished the claims.
The influencer said people “love to make S- up,” as he assured fans that “nothing changed.”
Meanwhile, Tyson’s rep says the boxer is doing great now.
Most of the passengers on the flight did not know he was the one who suffered the medical emergency and were only told that someone was in distress.
It’s understood there was a two-hour delay ahead of takeoff that had nothing to do with the 57-year-old. According to his rep, a mechanical issue was responsible.
Passengers had to wait around 25 minutes to get off the plane due to the paramedics checking on him.
Tyson is training for his highly-anticipated bout with Paul and appears to be in great shape.
