Boxing great Mike Tyson suffered a health scare on a flight over the weekend, raising concerns about the status of this summer’s heavily anticipated match up against the sport’s newest sensation, Jake Paul. 

The news prompted embattled boxer Ryan Garcia to offer himself as a potential replacement, despite recent calls for him to quit the sport after he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in his fight against Devin Haney. 

News broke on Monday that Tyson was recovering after the 58-year-old suffered nausea and dizziness on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles just a day before.

According to a statement from his reps, the incident was "due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing." 

"Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great," the statement, via The Associated Press, read. "He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him."

In addition to concern about Tyson’s health, there was also concern about how the incident would impact the July 20 fight between Tyson and Paul. The bout, which is a sanctioned fight by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations, will take place at the 80,000-seat home of the Dallas Cowboys and will be streamed live on Netflix. 

Questions about the status of the fight prompted Garcia to reach out to Paul on social media and offer himself as a potential replacement.

"If you down to fight, if Mike can’t do it, let me know I will fill in," Garcia said in a direct message to Paul, which he shared in a screenshot to X on Monday. 

However, Paul quickly dispelled any concern on social media with his own statement. 

"You love to make s--- up before knowing the facts for clicks / likes," he said in a post on X. "Nothing changed." 

Garcia’s offer comes amid backlash the 25-year-old boxer faces from the boxing community after he tested positive for a banned substance following his fight against Devin Haney last month. 

The fight, which was set to be a battle for the WBC super lightweight title before Garcia missed weight, ended in a majority-decision victory for him on April 20. However, ESPN later reported that he tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance Ostarine the day before and the day of the fight, citing a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association letter. 

A B-sample also later returned an adverse finding for the banned substance, the outlet reported. Garcia and his team have staunchly denied any wrongdoing and the issue remains under review by the New York State Athletic Commission. 

Haney’s father, Bill, made a plea last week to "get him out of the sport."

"It's a terrible thing. It's a terrible thing for sports in general. It's a terrible thing for boxing," he told TMZ Sports. In a since-deleted post on X, even UFC legend Conor McGregor called for a "lifetime ban."

Mike Tyson had a brief medical scare on a flight on Sunday, but do not tell that to his next opponent.

The boxing legend's representatives told the New York Post that the 57-year-old became nauseous and dizzy on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.

However, Jake Paul says "nothing changed" as far as their heavily anticipated fight this summer.

The reported incident came less than two months before Tyson and Paul are set to face one another in Dallas for what is slated to be the most-watched boxing match maybe ever, and for at least one generation, it is certainly the most anticipated.

However, Paul is calling B.S.

"You love to make s--- up before knowing the facts for clicks / likes. Nothing changed," the 27-year-old wrote on X.

In Touch Weekly was first to report 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 issued an announcement asking for a doctor – the message even came on everyone’s screens."

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

"He was in first class, but we were in an exit row and the stewardess was very chatty," a source told In Touch Weekly. "They asked us to stay on the plane and landed, so paramedics could enter. She said something like, ‘He’s a really important passenger so we wanna make sure he’s OK.’ I knew it was him, but I just mouthed the words ‘Mike Tyson,’ and she nodded her head yes."

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

There are some who have questioned whether Tyson can physically get back in the ring again. He will turn 58 years old next month (June 30), and he openly said his body feels like "s--- right now" with soreness, during the New York presser.

That was the humble Tyson, but he was talking the talk a few days later, ripping Paul.

"He’s going to knock me out? Anderson Silva. He couldn’t even knock out the little guys, how’s he going to knock me out?" Tyson said, while previously bringing up Paul's fight with Nate Diaz as well.

"He never knocked out a real man, come on. He didn’t knock out Tommy Fury. I’m going to f--- Jake up."

Well, after playing nice, the rivalry is officially on between the two.
