As OutKick's Mark Harris relayed, Tyson boarded a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday. He suffered what his representatives called an "ulcer flare-up" 30 minutes before landing in L.A.

An in-flight message to passengers called for medical assistance after a passenger (Tyson) suffered from nausea and dizziness. 

Given Netflix's viewership reach and a trending demand for live-streamed tent-pole sporting events, Paul's fight with Tyson is expected to generate big numbers. Netflix has noted that they maintain nearly 270 million subscribers worldwide.

Throughout his promotion of the fight, Mike Tyson has claimed to be all-in on giving the younger Jake Paul a pummeling, training for the ‘celebrity boxing match’ like any match from his prime days in the late 80s.

Tyson's reps also relayed that the former heavyweight champ is in ‘great’ condition following Sunday's health scare.
