Tyson, 57, was left feeling nauseous and dizzy but was later said to be “doing very well”, according to one of his representatives.
He’s just weeks away from facing Jake Paul in his first boxing match in almost four years.
He previously faced Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition fight in November 2020, but has since struggled with various health issues.
Tyson suffers from sciatica and an attack 18 months ago left the former world champion needing a wheelchair.
He has also occasionally used a wooden cane to help himself walk and has said he believes his “expiration date is approaching, very soon.”
Tyson was even warned by a doctor that he is at risk of suffering a subdural hematoma, which is the rupture of veins in the brain, in his fight against Paul, because of his age and previous alcoholism.
UFC commentator Joe Rogan also raised fears that Tyson was at risk of dying, but did not rule out the possibility of the former champion causing problems for Paul inside the ring.
Tyson’s health problems did not prevent him from being in good shape for the clash, and he warned his opponent that he will have to “fight as if his life depended on it”.

What is sciatica?
Sciatica is a condition that causes nerve irritation.
It usually affects one side, starting in the lower back or bottom and spreading down one leg.
Symptoms of sciatica include sharp pain that starts in the lower back or lower back and travels down the back of the leg, often to the feet and toes.
Common treatments for sciatica include exercise and stretching. Other treatments, such as injections or surgery, may help if the situation does not improve.
Sciatica can occur when something presses or rubs the sciatic nerve. The most common cause is a herniated disc in the spine.
Tyson retired from boxing in 2005 due to a back problem, while he also battled a career-ending knee injury.
He revealed that sciatica, a condition that causes nerve irritation, is the only health problem he suffers from.
Despite this, he still thinks about his own mortality, saying on his podcast: “We’re all going to die one day, of course. Then, when I look in the mirror, I see those little spots on my face.
“I say, ‘Wow. That means my expiration date is getting close, really soon.'”
