The 57-year-old former heavyweight champion has been preparing to fight YouTuber Jake Paul.
Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson had a medical emergency Sunday on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, his representatives said Monday. Tyson 'became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing,' his representative said in a statement to The Times. 'He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.' Tyson is now 'doing great,' according to the representative.
Tyson — who was once boxing's youngest-ever heavyweight world champion — will be 58 when he faces off against Paul at AT&T Stadium this summer. The boxer's long saga in and out of the sport has included heavyweight titles, prison time, a memoir, a well-known cameo in 'The Hangover' and, perhaps most infamously, biting off a small chunk of fellow boxer Evander Holyfield's ear during a 1997 fight.
