Former Boxing heavyweight World Champion Mike Tyson is “doing great” after reportedly experiencing a health scare during a flight to Los Angeles on Sunday.
“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” representatives for the boxer said via a statement on Monday.
The statement said that his medical situation was in connection to an ulcer that the former boxing champ has.
“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.“
His representatives also dismissed “false reporting” of the flight’s delay was due to the fighter’s medical situation, asserting that the plane was already delayed “due to an air conditioning issue on the aircraft.”
Tyson’s health scare comes less than two months away from his first officially sanctioned fight since 2005.
