As someone who has seen through all sorts of ups and downs in his life, Mike Tyson is someone who has now achieved profound wisdom by learning from his experiences. Tyson often shares his deep insights with his audience, whether it is on the topic of metaphysics or material success. Even though he used to be a hot-headed young man, with age he has mellowed out.

Jamie Foxx was previously pitched to portray Mike Tyson in an upcoming biopic. However, it was later scrapped after Tyson decided that Foxx won’t be fit to play him, due to age reasons. Moreover, just a month ago, Foxx was hospitalized. This news has shaken Hollywood, with several celebrities sharing their prayers for the Creed III actor. Amid the concerns for the actor’s health, Mike Tyson’s unsettling remarks recently surfaced.

Recently, a clip of Tyson appearing as a guest on Valuetainment: PBD Podcast surfaced. The clip was uploaded on Facebook. It started with the host asking Tyson if he has been following the developments with the Jamie Foxx situation.

Yeah, there’s a stroke… I don’t know what happened to him.”

The host, Patrick Bet-David, revealed his most recent meeting with Foxx. He claimed that they went to a restaurant in LA. Although he was unable to remember the name of the establishment at first. David claimed that Foxx looked really good at the time. He almost couldn’t believe it when he read the news that Foxx was moved to a Chicago Rehab Facility. Tyson replied, “Hey listen, we can’t anticipate our next breath. We don’t know when we are gonna die… After we leave this bad stuff can happen.”

Later on, someone raised the question of whether there was any news of Foxx’s actual medical condition. He wondered how such a healthy, young, and vibrant guy like Foxx could get like that. However, Tyson interjected and gave a rather unsettling reply. He said, “Hey listen, if we don’t know about it by now, they don’t want us to know”. He claimed that if by now there has been no news, then it must mean that Foxx’s family wanted to keep it private.

Recently, there were some rumors spreading which claimed that Foxx’s family was already preparing for the worst. Radar had reported the news then. At that time, an old video of Tyson’s disturbing remarks about death also resurfaced. However, Foxx’s daughter recently came forward to debunk all such claims. Corinne refuted the reports circulating online as she took to Instagram. She shared her disappointment with the media for reporting such news about her father. She shared, “Update from the family: It’s disheartening to witness how the media sensationalizes stories. My Dad has been out of the hospital for several weeks now, steadily recovering.”
