Is Mike Tyson OK? Eyewitnesses exclusively tell In Touch that the professional boxer had an apparent medical emergency on board a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday, May 26.
“Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded,” says the eyewitness. “Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone’s screens.
Once the plane landed at LAX, it was delayed another 25 minutes as the passengers waited to get off the plane while the paramedics dealt with Mike.
“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great. He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing,” Mike’s rep said in a statement to In Touch. “He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”
This comes just months before Mike’s highly anticipated fight against Jake Paul, scheduled for Saturday, July 20, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
While Mike is 30 years older than Jake, 27, the YouTuber previously said he had no plans to go easy on the boxing legend during the match. Jake reflected on the possibility of Mike knocking him out during the fight, telling TMZ that he will do the same “in an embarrassing fashion.”
“So, I have to reciprocate that same energy,” Jake shared with the outlet on May 24. “But Mike Tyson is a killer. He’s ruthless. He’s the most vicious champion ever. So, I have to channel that Mike Tyson energy to finish him. And the legend must fall.”

Mike does so much weed and mushrooms it’s amazing he hasn’t had more medical events.
I thought it was toad venom. And that’s not a joke. I thought I remember reading him. Talk about using that.
Interesting because I just saw a YouTube video where it said he has been hitting the Testosterone shots…hard. For his training, some worried he might even fail the drug test.
Personally I will never root for the guy with a Che Guevara TATOO on his belly.
Mike looks jacked, he’s ready for this fight.
So am I. Mike Tyson, anyways. Not Big Mike Obeyme.
I hope he survives and learns something from this experience.
Probably got ear poisoning in Miami. The Cubans cook their ears differently.
What drug tests? This isn’t a sanctioned fight. Both of them will be juiced to the gills and probably on EPO too.
I don’t know.
That’s just what was in the YouTube video.
I was rooting for him too until I saw the Che tat. Now I’m on the fence, with a lean toward him.
Wow I didn’t even realize that.
Former armed robbery, RAPE as well.
And yet IIRC he supports Trump.
medical emergency
I'm seeing those two words mentioned far too often these days.
In his defense, he thought Che was a 2nd baseman for the Giants
Mike isn’t a commie. He’s just ignorent and brain washed
He’s stupid. Like those stupid fools with their ‘Che’ t-shirts on a few years ago. They knew nothing about that monster. All they knew was that it was a cool looking t-shirt.

Portraits of Ashe, Guevara, and Mao
Tyson’s tattoo of Che Guevara is derived from the photograph Guerrillero Heroico by Alberto Korda.
From 1992 to 1995, while in prison for the rape of Desiree Washington, Tyson read a large number of books, including works by Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong. Spike Lee sent Tyson a copy of tennis player Arthur Ashe’s deathbed memoir, Days of Grace. Tyson was moved by the book and respected Ashe’s ability to be nonconfrontational and admired his political views and his success as a black athlete in a white-dominated world. Tyson got prison tattoos of both men on his biceps: A portrait of Mao, captioned with “Mao” in all-caps, on the left; a portrait of Ashe beneath the words “Days of Grace” on the right. Gerald Early views the Mao and Ashe tattoos as together “symboliz[ing] both [Tyson’s] newfound self-control and his revision of black cool”, with Mao representing strength and authority. Clifton Brown in The New York Times describes the Ashe tattoo as “a contradiction” with Tyson’s “fits of rage”. Early and biographer Richard Hoffer cast the two bicep tattoos as an unusual combination of, in Hoffer’s words, “alternate icons”.
Tyson chose tattoos of Mao and Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara to reflect his anger at society and the government while in prison. The Guevara tattoo, located on the left side of Tyson’s abdomen, is derived from Alberto Korda’s iconic Guerrillero Heroico photograph. In the 2008 documentary Tyson, Tyson brags that the tattoo predated the widespread commodification of Guevara’s image. Tyson maintained positive views of both revolutionaries subsequently: In 1999 he described Guevara as “Someone who had so much but sacrificed it all for the benefit of other people.” In 2006 he visited the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and said that he “felt really insignificant” in the presence of Mao’s body.
