The youngest heavyweight champion of the world ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson is not new to facing injuries. Being one of the greatest pro pugilists ever, Tyson has suffered several injuries in his career. However, he is 54 now and doesn’t engage in violent acts within the ring.
Despite this, Mike Tyson was recently spotted with a massive band-aid on his aid, making his fans worry about him. Despite hitting his dotage, Tyson continues to don a near-perfect physique and still has the ability to box, which we saw in his return against Roy Jones Jr. last year.
