Tyson was at UFC 277 at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas Texas. Notably, he was with Terence Crawford at an event that saw Amanda Nunez secure a scintillating victory against Julianna Pena.
However, boxing fans were concerned to see Tyson limping as he made his way to his seat. Moreover, he was also seen using a cane to support himself while walking.
Additionally, Tyson’s limp is especially concerning as the former champ has often spoken about death in recent times.
Not the first time that Mike Tyson limped
It is worth noting that this was not the first time that ‘the Baddest Man on the Planet’ was caught limping. In fact, Tyson was caught on camera limping as he made his way from the hotel to his car.
The former champ seemed to be in visible discomfort while walking. And he was also seen using a cane for support. However, it was later revealed that it was nothing serious and was a remission of old injuries.
Tyson apparently has a sciatica flare-up, which can in fact be a very unpleasant experience. But it was also mentioned that it was nothing but a minor ‘occupational hazard’ for the formidable heavyweight.
Meanwhile, in a wholesome turn of events, he was also seen making time to talk to his fans amidst the pain.
