MIKE TYSON’S thrilling fight against Jake Paul briefly went into jeopardy after the American idol suffered a medical emergency on his flight.
After months of speculation, the boxing legend will take on The Problem Child in one of the summer’s main events.
Paul has won his last three bouts since his grudge match defeat to former Love Islander Tommy Fury.
And there has been a mixture of excitement and cautiousness about this fight for Tyson as the American legend has not stepped in the ring since his exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
But now, there is more of a cause for concern following Iron Mike’s medical emergency scare.
What medical emergency did Mike Tyson suffer?
Mike Tyson is believed to have become nauseous and dizzy on board a flight from Miami to LA because of 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, according to an eyewitness.
A member of Tyson’s team provided an update revealing he was “doing great”.
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.”
