Tyson's health in question before Jake Paul fight due to his admission of nearly dying.

On Friday, two heavyweights will collide in the ring as Mike Tyson and Jake Paul face off in a highly anticipated boxing match. However, there has been some concern over Tyson's health leading up to the fight. After announcing that he would be coming out of retirement to take on the much younger Paul, Tyson revealed that he had recently experienced a frightening health scare.

The 58-year-old former champion had been forced to postpone the original date of the fight in July due to an ulcer flare-up. Tyson had become dizzy and nauseous on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles earlier this year, causing the airline staff to ask if there was a doctor on board. It was then that Tyson realized the severity of his condition as he began to vomit blood.

In an interview with New York Magazine, Tyson opened up about the experience, stating that he had lost 25 pounds in just 11 days and could only consume liquids. His coordination and stamina were greatly affected, and he feared for his life as doctors discovered a two-and-a-half-inch ulcer. Tyson even asked the doctor if he was going to die.

Despite the fight promoters downplaying the situation as a mere "flare-up," Tyson's comments have sparked an investigation by The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TLDR). As the governing body sanctioning the fight, TLDR will conduct thorough pre-fight physicals to ensure the health of both fighters.

Tela Mange, a representative for TLDR, stated that their appointed physicians will discuss Tyson's medical history with him and conduct pre-fight physicals to ensure his readiness for the match. The fight has been sanctioned as a professional contest, meaning that knockouts will be allowed over eight two-minute rounds with no headgear and 14-ounce gloves.

Despite his recent health scare, Tyson is determined to step into the ring and take on Paul. He has undergone multiple blood transfusions and is ready to start from scratch to prepare for the fight. However, it is clear that his health will be closely monitored by TLDR to ensure the safety of both fighters. The fight is set to go on the records of both men, adding even more pressure to the already highly anticipated event.
