Once once more, the American boxing legend is back, Mike Tysonto top the search engines in the world following the spread of pictures of him at Miami airport sitting in a wheelchair and holding a crutch in his hand, and the pictures raised public speculation regarding the nature of his illness and his health condition.
This came, a few weeks following his statements, which the audience sympathized with, in which he said: “I will die soon,” explaining that money does not mean anything to him.
Tyson suffers from “sciatica” in his lower back, a problem that forced him almost two years ago to rest for weeks, when he might not get out of bed, according to what American media reported.

Also, this same problem afflicted him at the end of his professional career and was one of the reasons that prompted him to retire 17 years ago.
According to the report published by TMZ, a celebrity news site, Tyson suffers from a sciatic nerve attack, a disease that affects the life of an athlete like him.
Tyson made his professional debut in 1985, defeating only 18-year-old Hector Mercedes, and quickly gained fame with his fierce and fearsome style and was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles.
Tyson retired following losing to Kevin McBride in 2005, and won 50 of his 58 professional fights before retiring.
He declared bankruptcy in 2003, despite reportedly earning more than $30 million for many of his fights and $300 million over his career.
