Mike Tyson’s Health Scare: Fight with Jake Paul Still On

In the latest turn of events, boxing legend Mike Tyson, aged 57, experienced a medical scare during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday. Reports have indicated that Tyson became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before the plane was set to land. However, Tyson’s representatives have confirmed that he is now “doing great” after receiving medical attention.

The incident has raised questions about Tyson’s upcoming fight with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, aged 27, which is scheduled for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Despite the health scare, there appears to be no indication that the fight will be postponed or canceled. In fact, Jake Paul himself has confirmed that “nothing changed” regarding the upcoming match.

This fight is particularly significant as it marks Tyson’s return to the ring since his exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020. For Tyson, this will be his first professional fight since June 2005, and for Paul, it will be another high-profile match in his burgeoning boxing career.

The incident on the flight has sparked concerns among fans and observers, with some questioning whether Tyson is fit to continue with the fight. However, Tyson’s representatives have been quick to assure the public that the former heavyweight champion is in good health and ready for the upcoming match.

In a statement, Tyson’s team said, “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.” They also denied that the medical emergency caused a two-hour delay, attributing it instead to an “air conditioning issue on the aircraft.”

As the boxing world eagerly awaits the July 20 showdown, one thing is clear: despite the health scare, the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is still very much on. Both fighters have shown their determination to go ahead with the match, and fans around the world are sure to be in for a spectacle when the two finally meet in the ring.
