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.

However, one fan claimed that Tyson would knock out the majority of UFC fighters while in a wheelchair. “He could still drop most UFC fighters from that wheelchair,” he wrote.

Lastly, one fan was amused by Tyson’s pitch with songs, but still touted him as ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’. “Those socks though. Still the baddest man on the planet,” he wrote.

The fans certainly had a field day mocking Paul for his outrageous callouts. Moreover, ‘Iron’ Mike is currently far past his boxing days and has now indulged in other business ventures. He has no motivation to fight Paul which combined with ‘The Problem Child’s transition to MMA makes the possibility of this fight highly unlikely.
