Mike Tyson has suffered a ‘medical emergency’ while boarding a plane to Los Angeles.

The heavyweight legend is set to fight social media star Jake Paul on 20 July with a staggering 31-year-old age gap between the two fighters.

In Touch Weekly report Tyson required medical attention after boarding a flight from Miami to LA on Sunday evening. The report claims a message was issued over the tannoy system asking if a doctor was on board the flight.

Tyson’s representatives have confirmed Tyson is ‘doing great’ after experiencing nausea due to an ulcer flare up.

An eyewitness told the magazine: ‘Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded. Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone’s screens.’
