Mike Tyson had a brief medical scare on a flight on Sunday, but don't tell his next opponent about it.

Representatives for the boxing legend told the New York Post that the 57-year-old suffered nausea and dizziness on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.

However, Jake Paul says “nothing has changed” regarding their long-awaited fight this summer.

The reported incident came less than two months before Tyson and Paul meet in Dallas in what is set to be the most-watched boxing match in history, and for at least a generation, is certainly the most anticipated.

But Paul is calling BS

MIKE TYSON SUFFERS MEDICAL SCARE ON FLIGHT BEFORE FIGHT WITH JAKE PAUL: REPORTS

“You love making shit up before you know the data on clicks/likes. Nothing has changed,” the 27-year-old said. wrote in X.

In Touch Weekly was the first to report on Tyson's scare, which they categorized as a “medical emergency.”

“Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded,” a source told In Touch Weekly. “Before the paramedics arrived, the flight made an announcement asking for a doctor; the message even appeared on everyone's screens.”

The medical issue reportedly delayed passengers leaving the plane for 25 minutes.

“He was in first class, but we were in the exit row and the flight attendant was talking a lot,” a source told In Touch Weekly. “They asked us to stay on the plane and we landed so the paramedics could come in. She said something like, 'He's a very important passenger, so we want to make sure he's okay.' I knew it was him, but I said the words 'Mike Tyson' and she nodded her head.”

Tyson and Paul held their press tour in both Harlem, New York and Dallas earlier this month in two separate press conferences. The first was full of laughter and jokes, but the second was much more serious, with both making bold predictions about possible knockouts in the fight.

There are some who have questioned whether Tyson can physically get back in the ring again. He will turn 58 next month (June 30), and he openly said that his body feels like “right now” with pain, during the New York press conference.

That was humble Tyson, but a few days later he was talking the same thing, criticizing Paul.

“Is he going to knock me out? Anderson Silva. He couldn't even knock out the little guys, how is he going to knock me out?” Tyson said, while previously also mentioning Paul's fight with Nate Diaz.
