“Jake Paul Wants to Fight Him for Shame Have to Charge Him With Elder Abuse”: Resurfaced Image of Ailing Mike Tyson in Wheelchair Makes Boxing World Go Wild

The boxing world came to a halt a few months back when boxing legend Mike Tyson was spotted in a wheelchair at the Miami Airport. The former heavyweight champion looked very frail and weak as he was pushed around in the airport with the help of a wheelchair. Naturally, fans began wondering what the reason was behind Tyson’s condition with loads of speculations taking place around ‘Iron Mike’s declining health.

However, it was later revealed that he was wheelchair-bound due to a sciatica flare-up in his lower back. This was a chronic disease that Tyson has suffered from for the better part of his life and claimed that he had episodes where his back pain would flare up. Despite this, he assured people that it was not anything serious. Although it has been some time since this incident occurred, a resurfaced photo of ‘Iron’ Mike in a wheelchair is making rounds on the internet.
