Mike Tyson’s recent in-flight medical incident sparked concerns about his upcoming bout against Jake Paul this summer. However, the YouTuber-turned-boxer swiftly dismissed any speculation through a vehement social media post.
Tyson’s representatives informed the New York Post that the 57-year-old experienced nausea and dizziness during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. Nonetheless, Jake Paul asserted that there were no changes regarding their highly anticipated fight this summer.
The reported incident occurred just before Tyson and Paul are scheduled to meet in Dallas for what is anticipated to be a record-breaking boxing match. Questions arose about the fight’s status after Sunday’s incident, but Paul dismissed them as unfounded.
In Touch Weekly first reported Tyson’s scare as a “medical emergency.” The incident reportedly delayed passengers from disembarking for 25 minutes. Despite concerns, the press tour for the fight proceeded with both humorous and serious moments.
Tyson, who will turn 58 next month, expressed physical discomfort during a press conference but later confidently challenged Paul’s capabilities. This exchange marked a shift from a more cordial atmosphere to an intensified rivalry between the two fighters.
