Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson experienced a medical scare on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday, attributed to an abdominal ulcer flare-up. The 57-year-old boxer, scheduled to face 27-year-old Jake Paul in a bout on July 20, became dizzy and nauseous approximately 30 minutes before landing.
Upon arrival in Los Angeles, paramedics provided immediate medical assistance. Tyson's representatives refuted claims that his health issue caused a flight delay, attributing the delay to an air conditioning problem.
Mike Tyson announced he has been abstaining from marijuana and sex to prepare for the fight, which will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and be broadcast on Netflix. The fight will consist of eight two-minute rounds.
