Boxing legend Mike Tyson had a medical scare on Sunday, becoming sick and disoriented while flying from Miami to Los Angeles, his reps informed the New York Post.
However, his staff claims the 57-year-old is “doing great” following the incident just before landing.
“He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing,” his representatives said in an email to The Post. “He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”

There are some who have questioned whether Tyson can physically get back in the ring again. He will turn 58 years old next month (June 30), and he openly said his body feels like “s— right now” with soreness, during a press conference for the fight earlier this month.
But, while he’s honest about how his body feels training for the fight, Tyson’s signature confidence has also been on display.
“He’s going to knock me out? Anderson Silva. He couldn’t even knock out the little guys, how’s he going to knock me out?” Tyson said, while previously bringing up Paul’s fight with Nate Diaz as well
“He never knocked out a real man, come on. He didn’t knock out Tommy Fury. I’m going to f— Jake up.”
Meanwhile, Paul, 27, has oozed confidence throughout the press tour thus far.
“I’m going to show the world that I can outbox Mike Tyson, prove everyone wrong, and show that I will be the one doing the killing,” Paul said in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center.
The last time Tyson was in a boxing ring for a fight was an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020, which resulted in a draw. Tyson last fought in a sanctioned fight in June 2005.
