Mike Tyson Had an 'Ulcer Flare-Up' During Flight and Is 'Doing Great,' Rep Says

The athlete was on board a flight from Miami to Los Angeles when the incident occurred

Mike Tyson is recovering from a mid-flight health emergency.

A representative for the professional boxer, 57, told PEOPLE on Monday, May 27: "Thankfully, Mr. Tyson is doing great" after "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 statement continued.

Per In Touch, the athlete was on board an American Airlines flight from Miami to Los Angeles when the incident occurred.

A call for a doctor was made on the flight, and paramedics reportedly boarded the plane to assist Tyson.

The flight had been delayed two hours before taking off because of an "air conditioning issue on the aircraft," according to Tyson's reps — his health condition was not a factor in the delay.
