AceShowbiz - Professional boxer and global icon Mike Tyson, 57, faced a health emergency while on an American Airlines flight from Miami to Los Angeles. According to his representatives, Tyson became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up just 30 minutes before the plane was scheduled to land.

Fortunately, the health scare did not escalate, and Tyson is reportedly doing great.

A call for medical assistance was made mid-flight, and paramedics boarded the plane upon landing to assist Tyson. Despite initial concerns, it was clarified that the plane's two-hour delay prior to takeoff was due to an air conditioning issue, not Tyson's health condition.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Tyson's representative expressed, "He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him." This sentiment was echoed across various sources, emphasizing the gratitude Tyson feels towards those who aided him during the incident.

Tyson's health scare comes ahead of a highly anticipated boxing match against YouTube star-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul. The bout is scheduled to take place on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be streamed live on Netflix. This match has been generating significant buzz, especially amongst young fans eager to witness the clash between generations.

Reflecting on the upcoming fight, Tyson said in a statement, "I'm very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. He's grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a 'kid' can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT. It's a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him."

At a recent news conference, Tyson referred to the match-up as a "no-brainer," expressing his excitement to shake the sports world with this unique event.

Meanwhile, Paul has also been vocal about his readiness for the fight, declaring himself a "natural-born heavyweight" and suggesting that he would prove his power against the legendary Tyson. In humorous reference to Tyson's infamous 1997 fight with Evander Holyfield, Paul even joked, "I'm gonna bite your ear off Mikey."

Despite the challenges posed by his health, Tyson remains committed to the intense training regimen required for the match, documenting his progress on Instagram. Both fighters have been preparing rigorously, indicating a thrilling and unpredictable showdown on July 20.
