The former boxing champion and his wife Lakiha 'Kiki' Spicer were in the city for Tyson's one-man show Undisputed Truth when she fell ill and required immediate medical attention.

A representative for Tyson tells TMZ.com the sports star took his wife to a hospital emergency room where she was admitted then released a short time later.

Spicer will return to the facility for a follow-up appointment but the cause of the condition is not thought to be serious.

The couple wed in 2009 and has two children together.
