Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is reportedly “doing great” after he suffered a medical emergency while on a flight on Sunday.
The 57-year-old was on a flight from Miami and Los Angeles when he suffered an ulcer flare-up. The boxer then reportedly became nauseous about 30 minutes before the plane was scheduled to land.
“Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded,” an eyewitness told InTouch. “Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone’s screens.“
“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great. He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing,” Mike’s rep told the outlet. “He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”
Tyson will be stepping into the ring to fight against Jake Paul, on Saturday, July 20, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
