Fans genuinely can’t believe what Jake Paul said after Mike Tyson suffered a ‘medical emergency’ ahead of their fight.
The 57-year-old became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare and received medical attention.
“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” Tyson’s representatives 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.”
The boxing icon issued an update on social media as he sent a message to Paul, who himself reacted to his upcoming opponent’s medical incident as he fired a warning ahead of their summer showdown.
Speaking on his podcast, ‘The Problem Child’ insists he’s going ‘f**k up’ ‘Iron’ Mike and will make it look easy.
“I’m certain I’m going to win,” he said. “I’m gonna f**k him up.
“It might just be easy actually. He doesn’t want that smoke and it’s a pro fight now so it’s just war.
“In the most respectful way possible because I do love him.”

Paul’s claim, however, doesn’t sit well with fight fans online as they hit out at the YouTuber-turned-boxer especially considering Tyson’s recent scare.
One X user wrote: “Bro just gained more confidence after a medical scare.”
A second tweeted: “Of course it’s gonna be easy he’s 75 years old.”
A third added: “Why is anyone entertaining this trash.”
A fourth slammed: “Lmaoooooo why is he always picking on retired or old fighters. Bro is a coward.”
Another commented: “Oh what a hard guy. Beating up an old man with health complications.”
Tyson will make his first appearance in a pro fight since June 2005 when he suffered a defeat to Kevin McBride.
But he did come out of retirement back in November 2020 as he faced fellow great Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout.
