Mike Tyson Suffers In-Flight Medical Emergency

LOS ANGELES, CA — Mike Tyson suffered an in-flight medical emergency aboard an American Airlines flight from Miami to Los Angeles Sunday night.

The champ is reportedly recovering Monday after a medical scare related to an ulcer flare-up, his representatives confirmed to KTLA.

“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” Tyson’s representatives tell KTLA 5 News. “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.”

The incident created a scare for the other passengers and flight staff.

“Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded,” an eyewitness told In Touch Weekly. “Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone’s screens."

Paramedics were ready to meet the boxer upon landing.

The emergency occurred within a half hour of the landing in Los Angeles, but American Airlines flight 1815 got off to a rocky start due to heat in Miami.

The plane was unable to take off for two hours due to the excessive heat in Miami, In Touch reported.
