JAKARTA - After several photos circulating showing Mike Tyson sitting in a wheelchair, the alarm bell immediately rang about his health condition. It was later revealed that he was suffering from problems with his pelvis.

Faced with rumors of a disease that left him paralyzed, Iron Mike ended speculation about his health in an interview with Newsmax TV.

"I suffered a pelvic lion and from time to time this problem arose. When it was volatile, I couldn't even speak! I'm grateful it's the only health problem I have. I'm so good right now," he tries to convey peace among his fans.

The same version expressed by TMZ: "He faces a sciatic attack (saraf). Nothing serious. Only job hazards for athletes like him."

However, the photos raise other speculations associated with his statements a few weeks ago on the Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson podcast.

"We're all going to die one day, of course," he later said. "Then when I looked into the mirror, I saw the small dots on my face and I said, 'Wow, that means my expiration date will come soon,'" he said.

Rumor Tyson returns to the ring

Throughout 2022, there will be many talks about Tyson's fight with some of his old rivals, even a rematch with Evander Holyfield. There's even talk of another duel against Lennox Lewis or with Youtuber Jake Paul.

Tyson was also asked why he turned down all offers to get back in the ring, when so many old and new rivals showed interest in fighting punches with him.

"Friends want to fight with me for $100 million. But I don't think I'll ever do anything like that again. I wanted to do it the first time, just for fun," Tyson explained.

"Then some people took him to another level and only wanted him for financial problems, so the fun was over," he concluded.
