HuffPost
Tyson suffered a medical emergency while on a flight to Los Angeles just months prior to the bout.
Mike Tyson on Saturday opened up about a health scare he suffered just months before his highly anticipated fight against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
“I almost died in June,” wrote Tyson in a post on X.
He continued, “Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.”
In May, the former heavyweight champion experienced a medical emergency while on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.
His representatives at the time noted that he became “nauseous and dizzy” from an “uncler flare-up” 30 minutes prior to landing.
