DLNews Breaking News:

On Sunday, legendary heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson (57) experienced a medical shock during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. Mid-flight, Tyson became nauseous and dizzy, prompting urgent concern among passengers and crew.

The situation escalated rapidly, with the flight crew urgently asking if any medical professionals were onboard to provide immediate assistance. According to the English “Mail Online,” the severity of Tyson’s condition necessitated swift action. Upon landing in Los Angeles, paramedics were quickly dispatched to the aircraft to attend to the former champion.

Fortunately, recent updates on Tyson's condition are reassuring. A spokesperson for Tyson told the New York Post, “We are pleased to report that Mr. Tyson is now in stable condition. He experienced symptoms of nausea and dizziness approximately 30 minutes before landing. He extends his heartfelt gratitude to the medical team for their swift and efficient assistance.”

Tyson, a living legend, is scheduled to return to the ring on July 20th, facing Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas. Tyson, with his characteristic enthusiasm, commented on the upcoming fight: “Jake Paul has developed enormously as a boxer. It’s going to be a thrilling spectacle to see what a kid’s will and ambition can do with the experience and skill of a GOAT.”

The fight, a topic of heated debate, has drawn significant criticism, mainly due to the substantial age difference between the two fighters. Tyson, who retired from professional boxing in 2005, made a return to the ring on November 28, 2020, in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr., which ended in a draw. Jake Paul, known for his social media presence, fought in a preliminary bout against former NBA professional Nate Robinson.

Throughout his storied career, Tyson has fought 58 professional bouts, winning 50 and 44 by knockout. His infamous 1997 fight against Evander Holyfield, where he bit off a piece of Holyfield's ear, remains one of the most talked-about moments in boxing history.
