Boxing legend, Mike Tyson sparked concerns from fans and the MMA community when he was seen in a wheelchair at an airport in Miami, Florida (USA). In an interview with the newspaper 'Newsmax', the 'Iron', as he is known, revealed that he had problems with his sciatic nerve, which can cause pain in the back and legs. He even stated that, as soon as the pain starts, he can't even speak.
“When it starts, I can’t even speak. It's an unbearable pain. Thank God it's the only health problem I have. I'm splendid now. Everyone in my house is truly blessed and we are all so grateful for what we have,” Tyson reassured.

At 56 years old, Mike, who had been retired from professional boxing since 2005, returned to the ring in an exhibition fight against veteran Roy Jones Jr. On that occasion, the fight ended in a draw, but it 'kindled' a desire in 'Iron', which speculates on other duels in the sport.
In his career in boxing, there are 50 victories – 44 of which were knockouts –, six defeats and two unsuccessful fights. He still doesn't have a date for a possible new presentation in the 'noble art', having been featured in fights against former rival Evander Holyfield and youtubers Logan and Jake Paul.
