Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has reassured fans that he is recovering well following a reported health scare on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday.
Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is recovering from a health scare that occurred during a recent flight, but he has reassured fans that he is "doing great."
On Sunday, Tyson was reportedly experiencing shortness of breath and facial swelling on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. The incident prompted the plane to make an emergency landing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Witnesses on the flight said that Tyson appeared to be struggling to breathe and was sweating profusely. A flight attendant reportedly administered oxygen to the 56-year-old Tyson.
Tyson was taken to a local hospital for evaluation, where he was reportedly released after being given medication.
On Tuesday, Tyson posted a brief message on social media, thanking his fans for their support and stating that he is "doing great."
"I'm so grateful for the outpouring of love and support I've received," Tyson wrote. "I'm doing great and getting better every day."
Tyson did not provide any further details about the health scare or the specific condition that caused his symptoms. However, he reassured fans that he is receiving the necessary medical care and expects to make a full recovery.
"I appreciate everyone's concern, but I'm not worried about my health," Tyson said. "I have an amazing team of doctors who are taking care of me, and I'm going to be back in the ring soon."
Tyson's health scare has raised concerns about his well-being, as he has been open about his struggles with substance abuse in the past. However, sources close to Tyson have said that his recent health scare is not related to drug use.
Tyson, who retired from boxing in 2005, has remained in the public eye through his role as a cannabis entrepreneur and his appearances in various television shows and movies. He is also set to star in a biopic about his life that is scheduled to be released later this year.
Tyson's fans have expressed relief and support for the boxing legend, wishing him a speedy recovery and a return to good health.
