Mike Tyson suffered a 'medical emergency' while boarding a plane last night in a huge scare ahead of his fight against Jake Paul.

Tyson returns to the ring on July 20 when he faces Paul in a pro fight that is scheduled to take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

It will be the 57-year-old's first appearance in a pro bout since 2005 when he lost to Ireland's Kevin McBride, who now lives a very different life.

And ahead of meeting Paul in a pro contest, the boxing legend had an almighty scare on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday.

According to his representatives, Tyson became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare and received medical attention.

But he is now doing 'great', per his team.

"Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great," the boxer's representatives said. "He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him."

A source said: "Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded.

"Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor - the message even came on everyone’s screens."

In Touch Weekly did not know whether the former world heavyweight champion was removed from the flight, which had been delayed by two hours in Miami.

His representatives, however, clarified that the delay was down to an air conditioning issue and not Tyson's medical incident.

Before the plane landed in Los Angeles, passengers heard an announcement asking for medical professionals, per the report.

The reported medical scare stopped passengers leaving the plane for 25 minutes.

"He was in first class, but we were in an exit row and the stewardess was very chatty. They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter," a source revealed. "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."
