Iron Mike Tyson Shaken But Not Stirred: Tyson Recovers After Pre-Flight Scare

Boxing fans were left briefly rattled after news broke of Mike Tyson experiencing a medical scare before a flight to Los Angeles. However, Tyson’s team swiftly released a statement assuring everyone that the legendary fighter is “doing great.”

According to reports, the 57-year-old Tyson felt nauseous and dizzy during the flight, believed to be due to an ulcer flare-up. Thankfully, the incident occurred close to landing, and medical personnel were readily available to assist him.

Interestingly, Tyson’s representatives clarified that the reported two-hour flight delay stemmed from an air conditioning issue, not his medical situation. This clears up some initial confusion and highlights the importance of accurate reporting.

Here’s what Tyson’s team said:

Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great. 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. However, it’s false reporting that his medical attention caused the flight delay. This two hour delay was due to air conditioning issue on the aircraft.

This health scare inevitably raises questions surrounding Tyson’s upcoming return to the ring. Scheduled to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in July, the fight marks Tyson’s first professional bout since 2005. With the specter of health concerns lingering, fans will be keenly observing Tyson’s training and preparation in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, Jake Paul seems unfazed by the news. Reacting to the situation, Paul simply stated that “nothing changed” regarding the fight. This suggests the controversial influencer remains confident and committed to the highly anticipated clash.

While the pre-flight scare undoubtedly caused a stir, it appears to be just a bump in the road for the Iron Mike. Whether this incident will have any long-term impact on his upcoming fight remains to be seen. One thing’s for sure, the boxing world is eagerly awaiting July 20th to witness the clash between the boxing icon and the social media sensation.
