Fans are worried for 57-year-old Mike Tyson ahead of his fight against Jake Paul.
On July 20th, Tyson is set to fight Paul in Cowboys Stadium in a fight that will air on NetFlix.
Unfortunately, Tyson appears to have suffered a recent medical scare.
On Memorial Day weekend, Tyson had to seek emergency medical attention while flying from Miami to Los Angeles.

“Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded,” says the eyewitness. “Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone’s screens.“
Prior to takeoff, the plane was delayed two hours because the plane was too hot due to the heat in Miami. The eyewitness shares that Mike, 57, was wearing a matching short sleeve blue and white print cabana set while on American Airlines flight 1815.
Mike was in the Admirals Club before he was escorted to the gate at the original boarding time of 5:10 p.m., but was then escorted away when the delay happened. The eyewitness shares that he eventually got on the plane at 6:30 p.m.
Tyson’s representatives released a statement to the NY Post detailing what happened.

“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” Tyson’s representatives told The Post in an email. “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.”
Fans of Tyson are worried about the 57-year-old’s health.
Just cancel the fight already. Nobody actually needs to see Mike fight Jake Paul https://t.co/UUrZika225

Really hope he doesn’t go through with the Jake Paul fight. The fact that Jake is proud of having him as an opponent and the fact that people are getting behind this fight is honestly just sad. https://t.co/QU8wg7GpxA
