Mike Tyson Faces Medical Emergency on Flight Before Jake Paul Fight

Professional boxing legend Mike Tyson experienced a medical scare over the weekend during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, necessitating an immediate response from health officials. The incident occurred on an American Airlines flight, which was delayed for hours due to overheating issues.

Tyson, who is scheduled to fight Jake Paul on July 20 in Dallas, reportedly encountered a medical emergency that caused a stir among passengers. An eyewitness recounted the situation, noting that paramedics were called to the scene. “Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded,” the witness said. “Before the paramedics arrived, the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor the message even came on everyone’s screens.”

Details of the incident:

• Tyson was initially at the gate, taking pictures with fans and accommodating requests despite the flight delay.

• The plane had to cool down due to overheating, delaying boarding.

• About 30 minutes before landing, a call for medical professionals was made due to Tyson's condition.

• Passengers were asked to remain seated upon landing so paramedics could assist Tyson.

The eyewitness detailed the buzz surrounding Tyson’s presence, saying, “He was very accommodating and then he was escorted away from the gate because the flight was delayed. Once the flight landed, we were delayed in getting off the plane for about half an hour so paramedics could board and assist Tyson.”

A spokesperson for Tyson confirmed that the 57-year-old is “doing great” following the incident. Tyson experienced nausea and dizziness attributed to an ulcer flare-up shortly before the plane landed. He expressed gratitude towards the medical staff for their prompt assistance.

This medical episode comes just weeks before Tyson is set to face off against Jake Paul, a highly anticipated match in the boxing community. Despite the scare, Tyson’s team assures fans that he is recovering well and is on track for the upcoming fight.
