Mike Tyson has been worrying a lot about his health for some time, which seems to be seriously on the decline. Not long ago, the legendary boxer also revealed the evil that gnawed at him. No wonder he is in so much pain, as it is a problem so many athletes before him have feared…
After years of shining in the ring, dominating his opponents one after the other, Mike Tyson should in theory be able to enjoy a well-deserved retirement, he who is now 56 years old. Unfortunately for the American, the last few months have not been easy – far from it. Very recently, the American star would have been robbed, enough to push him to make terrible threats to the perpetrators of the act.
However, all this seems derisory compared to the health concerns with which he must deal. The many boxing matches he has had during his career are increasingly felt in Iron Mike, and his body seems to be inexorably caught up in time. The interested party is also perfectly aware of this, since he completely dropped a few weeks ago that “His end was near”… Enough to panic many of his fans.
Worse, his few recent public appearances actually suggested that he was having more and more difficulty moving. We first saw it in New York struggling to move with a cane, end of July. With that alone, the fears were justified, but his health has visibly deteriorated even more since then because we even wheelchair preview at miami airport. Faced with great fears, the boxer made some clarifications on the subject. Enough to breathe a big sigh of relief… for now:
Mike Tyson: “It’s the only health problem I have”
Mike Tyson explained photos of himself in a wheelchair from a few days ago at Miami International Airport.
Mike Tyson : When my sciatica kicks in, I can’t even speak. Thank God that’s the only health problem I have.
We could expect it after all these recent shots: it is at the level of the back that the legend suffers, and not just a little. As a reminder, sciatica causes intense pain in the lower back and hip, as well as on the outside of the leg. It is therefore impossible for athletes to perform in such conditions, and it is even worse for the elderly.
The good news is that this means that Iron Mike’s life is not endangered, at least not by this issue. On the other hand, it is not surprising that he finds it so difficult to move around in everyday life. There are not many remedies for his condition, apart from treatment with drugs or, in some cases, infiltrations via corticosteroids. Clearly, it is a rather long process… and which seems all the more so because of the pain.
Mike Tyson therefore suffers from nasty sciatica, which explains the worrying state in which we had been able to see him in recent weeks. Let his fans be reassured however: contrary to what the boxer could say, he is not close to the end, although we understand that he can feel it that way. For good news, it’s good news!
