Former boxing champ Mike Tyson suffered a medical emergency on a flight from Miami to LAX Sunday night.

His representatives confirmed to multiple outlets that Tyson became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up.

“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” his rep wrote in an email to the New York Post.

Passengers told In Touch Weekly that 30 minutes before the landing, there was a pre-recorded announcement asking whether there were any medical professionals aboard.

There was reportedly a two-hour delay prior to the flight taking off; however, his representatives said that was due to an issue with the plane.

Tyson, 57, is scheduled to fight Jake Paul on July 20.
