"Then our screens said medical assistance needed, and repeated the same thing," the eyewitness added. Tyson was in first class when the incident happened. The eye witness said that stewardess described him as an important passenger. "He was in first class, but we were an exit row," the eyewitness continued. "They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter. [The stewardess] 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."
However, a representative for Tyson said that the boxer is doing well. He experienced a peptic ulcer flare-up.
