Mike Tyson‘s representatives have reportedly confirmed that he experienced a medical incident during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday. The details of the incident were initially unclear, including whether Tyson was removed from the flight, which had already been delayed by two hours in Miami.
In Touch Weekly first reported the incident, describing it as an “apparent medical scare.” According to a source on the flight, “Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane, and paramedics boarded.” Before the paramedics arrived, the flight crew issued an announcement asking for a doctor, with the message even appearing on passengers’ screens.
One witness noted, “He was in first class, but we were in an exit row, and the stewardess was very chatty. They asked us to stay on the plane when we landed so paramedics could enter. She said something like, ‘He’s a really important passenger, so we want to make sure he’s OK.’ I knew it was him, but I just mouthed the words ‘Mike Tyson,’ and she nodded her head yes.”
Tyson’s representatives clarified to The Post that the flight delay was due to an air conditioning issue, not because of any medical emergency involving Tyson. “Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” they noted. “He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative of the medical staff that was there to help him.”
Despite the scare, Tyson’s representatives have assured fans that he is doing well and his training and fight plans remain on track. Tyson is currently preparing for his return to the ring with a fight against Jake Paul scheduled for July 20.
