Mike Tyson Faces Critical Health Crisis on Flight Ahead of Awaited Jake Paul Bout
Renowned heavyweight boxer, Mike Tyson, surprisingly faced a health issue while on a flight ahead of a highly-anticipated match against social media star-turned-boxer, Jake Paul. The medical emergency, which was identified as an “ulcer flare up,” transpired as Tyson flew from Miami to Los Angeles, eliciting a medical examination upon landing. Tyson’s representatives have reassured the public that his health is stable. The concern remains, however, if Tyson’s health will influence the performance in the upcoming bout scheduled for July 20 in Arlington, Texas. Meanwhile, boxing fans are curious to witness Tyson, feared and dominant in the ’90s, yet again enter the ring to face a much younger Paul.

Fight fans were waiting with bated breath after a much-ballyhooed boxing match seemed as though it might be put at risk by a health issue.
Legendary heavyweight Mike Tyson had an apparent medical emergency during a weekend flight, according to multiple reports.
In Touch first shared details about the scary incident in a report on Monday.
According to an unnamed eyewitness, the 57-year-old boxer suffered “some kind of medical emergency” during a flight on Sunday.
The issue flared up as he was traveling from Miami to Los Angeles.
When the aircraft landed in California, paramedics boarded the aircraft to attend to Tyson, the witness told In Touch.
“Before the paramedics arrived, the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor,” the person said.

Will you watch the fight between Tyson and Paul?
Tyson’s representatives, however, tried to assuage fears, telling the New York Post that all was well.
“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” they said. “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.”
Tyson’s representatives also cleared up confusion about a delay in the flight; the plane had left Miami two hours late.
They said that was caused by an air conditioning issue on the aircraft.
It was unknown whether the “ulcer flare up” would impact Tyson’s blockbuster fight this summer.
He is scheduled to fight social-media star-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a hyped mega-fight on July 20 in Arlington, Texas. It will be a Netflix special.

Tyson agreed to fight the 27-year-old Paul in March, and fight fans have been buzzing about the showdown ever since.
Many have bemoaned the 30-plus-years age difference between the two men, which makes this feel more like a vanity project for Paul than an actual fight.
That being said, just as many fight fans are interested to see Tyson — arguably the most feared and dominant boxer of the ’90s — return to the ring against the upstart.
Paul, who began boxing in 2018, has a record of 9-1 with six knockouts.
Tyson, through his illustrious career, has garnered a record of 50-6 with 44 knockouts. However, he lost bouts in 2004 and 2005 — his last two professional boxing matches.
Paul is favored over his much older opponent.
But as any boxing fan can tell you, sometimes a single punch can completely change formulas in the sweet science — and few punches packed the wallop that Tyson’s did.
So long as Tyson’s ulcer issues don’t flare up again, the legendary boxer will have a chance to prove that adage against Paul in July.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
