Ahead of their multi-million dollar fight, Boxing legend Mike Tyson says he does not need to be 100% for Jake Paul.

Mike Tyson experienced a health scare over the weekend while traveling across the nation.

Tyson reportedly felt queasy and nauseous due to an ulcer flare-up that was bugging him.

All of this occurred barely thirty minutes before his Miami-bound jet touched down in Los Angeles.

Although Tyson hadn't made a public declaration, Jake Paul claimed that their fight remained unchanged in spite of the rumors.

It may be difficult to persuade Mike Tyson to withdraw from this fight because he is a man of his word and likes to follow through on his commitments.
