According to his representatives, Mike Tyson is recuperating following a medical emergency that occurred during a plane trip.
On Sunday, according to a statement from his publicist, the ex-heavyweight champion who is 58 years old experienced discomfort due to an ulcer flare up, causing him to feel nauseous and dizzy about 30 minutes before the plane was scheduled to land.
Fortunately, Mr. Tyson is doing well, according to the announcement.

Medical assistance was provided for a passenger on board American Airlines flight 1815 which had arrived at LA International Airport. This was confirmed by a statement from the airline that stated that first responders were promptly dispatched to the scene.
