Mike Tyson is thankfully back to his old self following a medical scare over the weekend. The boxing legend experienced a health emergency during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday, May 26, due to an ulcer flare-up. Tyson felt nauseous and dizzy, prompting emergency medical assistance. Despite the scare, Tyson has reassured fans that he is now “100%” well. “Now feeling 100%, even though I don’t need to be to beat Jake Paul,” he stated confidently.
Witnesses on the flight reported Tyson’s distress, which occurred just minutes before landing. Thankfully, emergency personnel responded quickly, and Tyson has expressed his gratitude for their swift action. With his health restored, Tyson is resuming his preparations for the highly anticipated July 20 bout against Jake Paul in Arlington, Texas.
The fight, expected to be a professional match recorded on both fighters’ records, will see the 60-year-old Tyson taking on the 27-year-old Paul over eight two-minute rounds. Despite their age difference, Paul has made it clear that he will not be taking it easy on the boxing icon. In response to news of Tyson’s medical issue, Paul released a cryptic statement, seemingly addressing the use of old photos of Tyson in a wheelchair to cast doubt on the fight.
Tyson, with his illustrious career and enduring reputation, remains a formidable opponent, even three decades older than Paul. Fans are relieved to hear of Tyson’s recovery and look forward to the upcoming fight, hoping it proceeds without any further health issues. As the bout approaches, the excitement builds for what promises to be a thrilling showdown between the seasoned champion and the younger contender.
