Mike Tyson, a Hall of Fame boxer, is “doing fantastic” after suffering a medical incident on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday, his representative told CNN.
“Thankfully, Mr. Tyson is doing well,” the spokesman stated.
Tyson, 57, “felt nauseated and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before arrival,” his agent stated. “He appreciates the medical personnel that were there to assist him.”
Tyson’s medical crisis will not have an impact on his July 20 boxing battle against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, according to his representative.
The fight will be Tyson’s first since an exhibition contest against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020, and his first professional match since 2005.
The event will take place at Arlington, Texas’ AT&T Stadium, which seats 80,000 people and is home to the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League.
Mary Tucker excels in her sport because she lives an ordinary life.
Tucker is at the top of the sport shooting world, having just won a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Games. Not bad for someone who only started using air rifles six years ago.
“Yeah, so I began on a high school team, and I was so horrible at it, I could barely hit the target, so people were like, ‘You should probably try something else, maybe this isn’t the sport for you,'” Tucker explained.
Tucker taught herself how to shoot by studying YouTube recordings of international shooting events.
She was recruited from Sarasota, Florida, and made an impression at the University of Kentucky, where she helped the Wildcats win back-to-back national shooting titles.
She ended up shooting her air rifle to win many world titles, NCAA championships, and the world’s top shooter ranking.
Tucker claims she does well under pressure because she enables herself to experience it.
“I believe it’s more essential to embrace the nerves and think of them as enthusiasm,” Tucker added.
Tucker finds that snuggling with her 21-pound cat helps her relax. She maintains her grounding by staying connected to those who have supported her even before her Olympic success. If she feels overwhelmed or down, she knows who to call.
“Definitely one of my greatest pals, Ann or Mallory; I called them a lot for anything,” Tucker added. “And generally the first thing they say to me, which is exactly what my coaches told me, is, ‘Are you being an idiot? Like, that’s just the first question. I am like, “What do you mean?” And they say, “Well, did you do something stupid?”
Tucker has made numerous wise judgments regarding her favorite sport. She will now compete in another Olympic Games, this time in Paris. This time, she will be able to appreciate the event, including all that COVID-19 took away three years before.
At only 22 years old, there could be many more Olympic adventures to come.
