There were rumors that the flight was delayed because of Tyson's medical issue, but his representatives debunked that. "It's false reporting that his medical attention caused the flight delay," the rep stated."This two-hour delay was due to an air conditioning issue on the aircraft." Tyson, 57, is slated to return to the boxing ring for his first professional fight in nearly two decades when he faces Paul, 27, in a blockbuster showdown at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight will be streamed live on Netflix.
