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.
