Mike Tyson, the boxing legend, was recently spotted in a wheelchair and holding a stick at a Miami airport. Strikingly, the boxer was dressed in all white at the airport, from his shorts to his socks to his shoes. In the images that have done rounds on social media, Tyson appeared ill and tired.
Despite his lack of physical fitness, the boxer posed for photos with fans at the airport and managed to maintain a low smile. What was even more concerning was that he left the airport with his mouth covered.
Though he posed for fans, such an appearance of the boxer is heartbreaking for fans of the man who once ruled the world with his boxing skills. It was the same boxer who dominated the ring with his powerful punches and blows that knocked out his opponents.
Here are the images

All of these scenes occurred after Tyson made a significant statement about life and death last month on his podcast, Hotboxing with Mike Tyson. "We’re all gonna die one day of course," he had said. "Then, when I look in the mirror, I see those little spots on my face, I say, 'Wow. That means my expiration date is coming close, really soon'," he added.
Tyson, who retired in 2005 after losing to Kevin McBride, returned to the ring in November 2020 for an exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr, which was ruled a draw.
Tyson's health has been a source of concern for some time. The 56-year-old was spotted moving slowly and cautiously in New York about three weeks ago. However, it was then reported that it was nothing serious. This news is not good for his fans, who adore and adore him. He has a record of 50 wins from 58 fights and is still considered one of the biggest names in the sport.
In the meantime, Tyson is all set to make his debut in an Indian film. He will feature in the movie titled Liger starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday.
