Get ready for some exciting news about the boxing legend, Mike Tyson! Recently, Tyson had a brief medical emergency while on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. But don’t worry, he’s doing well now!
According to Tyson’s representative, the 57-year-old former heavyweight champion experienced an ulcer flare-up, which caused him to feel nauseous and dizzy about 30 minutes before landing. Thankfully, the medical staff onboard were quick to help out, and Tyson is very grateful for their assistance. His rep also clarified that reports about his medical situation causing a flight delay were incorrect. The two-hour delay was actually due to an air conditioning issue on the plane, not Tyson’s condition.
Now, let’s talk about the upcoming buzz in the boxing world. Mike Tyson is set to step back into the ring this July, and his opponent is none other than social media sensation-turned-boxer, Jake Paul! This much-anticipated match will take place on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be streamed globally by Netflix.

In a recent interview, Tyson shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight. While he doesn’t view Paul as a “formidable opponent,” he acknowledged that in boxing, anyone can be a threat once they’re in the ring. “Anybody [is a] threat [when] there’s two men in the ring, everybody’s a threat,” Tyson said.
Despite his confidence, Tyson advised Paul to take the fight seriously. He told Paul, “Fight like your life depends on it because it does.” Yet, Tyson remains unfazed by the challenge, stating, “I’m not concerned about anything. If I was concerned, I wouldn’t be here talking to you.”
This fight marks Tyson’s return to the ring after nearly 19 years. His last public bout was a 2020 exhibition against fellow legend Roy Jones Jr., which ended in a draw. Fans worldwide are eager to see how Tyson fares against the young and ambitious Jake Paul.
So, folks, mark your calendars for July 20. This showdown between the legendary Mike Tyson and the up-and-coming Jake Paul promises to be an electrifying event you won’t want to miss!
