Mike Tyson appears to be all systems go for his return to the ring despite a bit of a scare earlier this week.
Tyson, who will face Jake Paul on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, made headlines after reportedly needing medical attention before boarding a flight on Sunday in Miami. Tyson’s team stated he was “doing great” following reports, but the former heavyweight champion added his own update on Tuesday.
Now feeling 100% even though I don’t need to be to beat Jake Paul.

“Now feeling 100 percent, even though I don’t need to be to beat Jake Paul,” Tyson said on Twitter.
According to Tyson’s team, he “became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing.” While there were some that believed the early reports could lead to Tyson not competing against Paul at the mega-event that will stream on Netflix to subscribers, Paul appears to be on the same page as his opponent, as he stated on Sunday via Twitter that “nothing changed” in regards to the status of the bout.
