Is the battle against Jake Paul in peril because Mike Tyson has a medical problem while in flight?
Mike Tyson’s representatives have reportedly confirmed that he had a medical incident during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday. The details were initially unclear, including whether Tyson was removed from the flight, which had already been delayed by two hours in Miami.
In Touch Weekly first reported the incident, describing it as an “apparent medical scare.”
“Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded,” a source noted.
“Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor – the message even came on everyone’s screens.
“He was in first class, but we were in an exit row and the stewardess was very chatty. They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter.
“She 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.”
Flight wasn’t delayed due to Tyson
Tyson’s representatives clarified to The Post that the flight delay was due to an air conditioning issue, not because of any medical emergency involving Tyson.
“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” they noted.
“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.
Tyson is currently preparing for his return to the ring, with a fight against Jake Paul scheduled for July 20. Despite the scare, Tyson’s training and fight plans appear to remain on track.
