Boxing legend Mike Tyson has dealt with a lot of illnesses in his past. The former heavyweight champion suffered from high blood pressure, arthritis, and a host of spinal problems that plagued him later in his life. Thus, he understands what a person dealing with any major illness feels like.

So it came as no surprise when Iron Mike reached out to an influence suffering from cancer and wished her a speedy recovery. Social media influencer Ross Smith and his grandmother Pauline Kana, better known as ‘Granny’, are known for pulling out pranks and performing outlandish stunts on social media. However, it was revealed that Kana was diagnosed with cancer. Smith posted a video on Instagram where he visited ‘Granny’ on the day of her surgery and had a great surprise for her.

He showed her a video of many celebrities, including Tyson and UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, wishing her a speedy recovery.

“You Got This Granny, Stay Tough,” said Tyson, trying to motivate Kana during this hard time. Moreover, other celebrities included comedian Steve-O, NBA player Boban Marjanovic and Hollywood actor Chuck Norris.

Why was Mike Tyson in a wheelchair at Miami airport?

Iron Mike was recently spotted in a wheelchair at the Miami airport. The 56-year-old Tyson needed the support of a wheelchair to get around the airport while he was clicking photos with his fans. This might have been the result of recurring back injuries that he still suffers from. Tyson has a sciatica build-up in his back, which has left him wheelchair-bound. This happened just days after Tyson was spotted limping while using a walking stick around New York City.

Moreover, what makes this incident more frightening was that Tyson talked about his mortality a few weeks before this happened. In an episode of Hotboxin Tyson stated that everybody has to die and that his time was also coming soon.
