Judging from the response from Tyson's tweet, there is no doubt that fans were indeed worried. Just days ago, following reports of Tyson's medical emergency, The Blast shared an update complete with an eyewitness's account. The witness disclosed:

"Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane, and paramedics boarded. Before the paramedics arrived, the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone's screens."

They noted that despite being accommodating to fans, Tyson was eventually escorted away from the gate. The eyewitness continued:

"He was in first class, but we were an exit row and the stewardess was very chatty. They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter. She said something like, 'He's a really important passenger so we want to make sure he's OK.' I knew it was him, but I just mouthed the words 'Mike Tyson,' and she nodded her head yes."

Even with a bystander's account, a representative of the boxer claimed it was "false reporting that his medical attention caused" a delay before takeoff.

The rep expressed gratitude about Tyson's current health, stating, "Thankfully, Mr. Tyson is doing great."

They pointed out that the star athlete had become "nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing." The reason for this was reportedly "due to air conditioning issue on the aircraft."

Before Tyson addressed concerns about his health, The Blast reported that the internet erupted in fury after a tweet from the younger boxer seemed to dismiss Tyson's health scare.

The problematic message read, "You love to make sh-t up before knowing the facts for clicks/likes. Nothing changed #PaulTyson."

The 27-year-old's words ignited an immediate backlash from users on X, starting with a user who shared a throwback picture of Tyson in a wheelchair alongside the retort, "Correct. Mike is still a senior citizen with a lot of health issues."

Another critic chastised Paul, stating, "Be ashamed of yourself. You're fighting a 60-year-old man and claiming it's the hardest ever."

Yet another follower urged Paul to reconsider his stance, writing, "Jake, if you have anything about you here. You'd cancel the fight and face somebody else in the main event. Plenty of people would step in even on short notice."
