Professional boxer Mike Tyson reportedly suffered a medical scare on a flight over the weekend from Miami to Los Angeles that required a response from health officials.
The American Airlines flight was reportedly delayed for hours due to overheating issues, In Touch Weekly reported.
“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.“
The eyewitness said that there was “a lot of buzz” when Tyson arrived at the gate as many people recognized him and he took pictures with people.
“He was very accommodating and then he was escorted away from the gate because the flight was delayed because the gate person said that the plane was too hot because it had been sitting all day and had to cool down,” the eyewitness said.
The report said that about 30 minutes before the flight landed, a message was broadcast to passengers asking if there were any medical professionals on board because a passenger was having an emergency.
Once the flight landed, passengers were delayed in getting off the plane for about half an hour so paramedics could board the plane and assist Tyson.

“He was in first class, but we were an exit row,” the eyewitness continues. “They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter. [The stewardess] said something like, ‘He’s a really important passenger so we wanna make sure he’s OK.’ I knew it was him, but I just mouthed the words ‘Mike Tyson’ and she nodded her head yes.”
A spokesperson for Tyson said in a statement that the 57-year-old was “doing great” and that 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 episode comes just several weeks before Tyson is scheduled to fight Jake Paul on July 20 in Dallas.
