Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson suffered a medical emergency during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday, according to reports.
Just thirty minutes before landing, Tyson experienced nausea and dizziness, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The 57-year-old boxer’s symptoms were due to an ulcer flare-up.
Tryson received prompt assistance from the medical staff on board the flight.
He is now reported to be stable and “doing great,” Los Angeles Times reported.
“He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing,” his representatives told The New York Post.
“He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”
Sources claim the cabin crew “issued an announcement asking for a doctor 30 minutes before landing and the message even came on everyone’s screens.’
“They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter. [The stewardess] 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.”
“He was in first class, but we were an exit row,” an eyewitness added.
The Daily Caller reported: Tyson is in the midst of preparing for a comeback to the ring. He is scheduled to fight 27-year-old YouTube influencer Jake Paul on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Los Angeles Times stated.
This event marks a return for Tyson, who retired from professional boxing in 2005 and last reigned as a world champion between 1987 and 1990.
Tyson, who retired in 2005, recently fought in an exhibition in November 2020 against Roy Jones in California, which wasn’t declared a pro-fight.
“I was doing this years ago, so this is nothing new to me,” said Tyson, who won 50 fights with 44 knockouts before retiring.
“This is new to this young boy over here.”
Maybe Tyson is still choking on Holyfield’s ear.
Maybe it was someone or something he ate on the flight?
Did he have the fish?
4 posts.....not bad!................
That’s what happens when you eat more than 3 bags of
Flamin’ Hot Fritos, washing down with a liter of blue Gatorade.
You are 57 y/o, Mike. So is your stomach lining! //
Cuddy can't hang, blood. Says 'S'mofo dish be layin' him to da' BONE! Jackin' him up... tight me!
Ah, but the rapist did not die. Too bad.
What did he eat on the plane?
I’m glad Dr. Tyson is ok, but i am surprised at the stewardess comment about concern for him because he is ‘important.’ What care do less ‘important’ passengers get?
Just one first class passenger....................
Less important passengers only get access to the smaller swimming pool on the plane, not the Olympic-sized one.
Bite off a spoiled ear?
He’s a pigeon fancier. I’m waiting for someone to suggest avian flu...
Interest must be low. More drama required
Stomach ulcer: too many punches to the tummy.
raising pigeons is very stressful and can cause ulcers.
If Mike Tyson dies, Jake Paul’s chance of winning rise from 0% to 1%.
