Mike Tyson’s X account posted its first message since the boxer endured a medical scare on a flight over the weekend.
Tyson was flying from Miami, Florida, to Los Angeles, California, on Sunday and started feeling sick. The flight crew asked if there was anyone on the flight who could provide medical care to the boxer.
Paramedics treated the 57-year-old, causing a brief delay for the other passengers after the plane landed.
Tyson’s representative told reporters that the boxer’s medical issue was related to an “ulcer flare-up.”
“He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him,” a spokesperson said.
The whole incident led some to wonder whether Tyson’s July 20 bout against Jake Paul would be canceled or postponed. It sure doesn’t sound like there will be any changes to the scheduled fight.
“Now feeling 100% even though I don’t need to be to beat Jake Paul,” Tyson’s X account wrote in a post on Tuesday.
From having medical scares to promoting his fight, Tyson seems focused on going through with things.
