Mike Tyson, the reigning fighting hero, experienced a health scare on his Sunday flight to Los Angeles before he squared off against Jake Paul.
According to his associates, the athlete had an abscess rocket- up, the New York Post reported.
” Fortunately, Mr. Tyson is doing great”, Tyson’s representatives said. He reportedly developed nausea and dizziness 30 days before landing as a result of an abscess flare-up. He appreciates the skilled personnel who assisted him.
Tyson’s tent added that the boxer’s flight was delayed by two days as a result of an air conditioning problem on the plane rather than a lack of medical care.

However, the report even reported that at least 25 days of the delay was expected to Tyson’s health scare.
The team reportedly used the jet’s communication system about 30 days before landing in L.A. and inquired if a doctor was on board the plane. The 57- yr- old athlete was tended to initially upon landing, preventing various passengers from leaving the plane for about 25 minutes.
” He was in first course, but we were in an leave string, and the attendant was very talkative. According to a source, they asked us to be on the plane and land so paramedics may provide. She said something like,’ He’s a genuinely important passenger, so we wanna make certain he’s OK.’ I knew it was him, but I only mouthed the words ‘ Mike Tyson,’ and she nodded her head well.”
Tyson’s final open appearance came in 2020 when he defeated Roy Jones Jr. in a draw at an show.
Tyson made a joke about Paul being unstoppable for him late.
” He could n’t even knock out]Nate ] Diaz,” Tyson said”. Diaz is 40 lbs. He’s going to push me out? Anderson Silva. He could n’t even knock out the little guys, how’s he going to knock me out ?.. Come in, he not knocked out a real person. He did n’t knock out Tommy Fury. I’m going to f–k Jake away.”
Tyson also claimed to have stopped using marijuana and sexual while training for the Paula match.

Jake Paul’s position is that he will hands Tyson a loss to end the champion’s career and that “one of us has to death.”
” I love Mike. I’m very respectful of him. It’s a pleasure to be in the circle with him. But I have to stop him,” Paul said early this month.
” It’s conflict. Love and war are both honest games. I love the guy, but as soon as it turned into a master fight, one of us has to death.”
