Dsalita Reports have emerged that former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson experienced a health scare while on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. Tyson, who is 57 years old, suffered from a medical issue during the journey, leading to concerns among those on board.
This incident has raised questions about Tyson’s upcoming fight against YouTuber Jake Paul scheduled for July 20th. The match is set to take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be available for viewing on Netflix PPV. With Tyson’s recent health scare, there is uncertainty surrounding his readiness for the fight.
Jake Paul, at 27 years old and fighting at the cruiserweight level, has primarily faced older MMA fighters in boxing matches. His only notable boxing opponent, Tommy Fury, defeated him in 2023. Fury, the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is considered a British domestic-level fighter and not top-tier in the sport.
Following the plane’s landing, Tyson was attended to by paramedics. A spokesperson for Tyson reassured the public, stating that Tyson experienced an ulcer flare-up causing nausea and dizziness before landing but is now stable and grateful for the medical assistance provided.
Given Tyson’s age and recent health concerns, many fans question the wisdom of him facing Jake Paul in the ring. Tyson has not fought professionally in almost two decades and his previous losses indicate a decline in his skills and abilities. With Jake Paul’s skills and power comparable to Tyson’s past opponents, there is skepticism about the competitiveness of their upcoming bout.
As the fight approaches, speculation is rife about whether Tyson and Paul will go all out in the ring or opt for a lighter, less intense match. The uncertainty surrounding Tyson’s health and fitness has led many to doubt the authenticity of the upcoming fight.
