Despite Being Crippled by Nerve-Damaging Disease, Mike Tyson Continues to Make Waves With Olivia Dunne in an ?Iconic? Snapshot

When the ESPY Awards 2023 came around, all the big names in the industry gathered together to celebrate eminent achievements in the sports world. From Olympic champions to up-and-coming sports superstars, everyone was in attendance, dressed to the nines and ready to rumble. Among these prominent personalities was Mike Tyson, who made an appearance and also met the LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne.

The legendary boxer attended the shindig despite suffering from a nerve-damaging condition called Sciatica. Tyson has been suffering from the same for a while now, as he was seen in a wheelchair at the Miami airport last year. However, he has gotten better since then. In fact, Tyson celebrated the occasion by clicking pictures with many famous athletes during the event, such as America’s crush Olivia Dunne and World Champion hurdler Lolo Jones.

During the festivities, the 20-year-old viral social media personality took some time to interact with the 57-year-old boxing champion. She also posted a picture with the boxing icon on her Instagram stories, tagged Mike Tyson, and wrote “legend.” The young gymnast also sported a pout and a victory sign while getting clicked with Tyson.

On the other hand, Mike Tyson stood beside her smiling. While Dunne graced the red carpet looking glamourous in a black floor-length gown with cutouts, Mike Tyson was looking dashing in a green shirt with a light-colored blazer and dark-colored pants. He also sported his signature face tattoo. Tyson walked the red carpet with his daughter, Milan Tyson. His daughter sported a black mini-dress and Prada mules with a Prada handbag.

Lolo Jones, who calls herself the ‘Charles Barkley of the Olympics’ also got clicked with Mike Tyson. Captioning the picture, she wrote, “No words. Icon.”?Lolo Jones and Olivia Dunne also posed with each other. Both Dunne and Jones are LSU sportspersons, who have played for the college team. Olivia Dunne might have dominated the red carpet with her alluring presence, but Mike Tyson equally wowed with his celebrity status and ability to overcome his adversities.

Tyson ruling the sports world after all these years

“Iron Mike” ruled the game of boxing for years, showcasing strength and endurance that one rarely comes across. Arguably one of the greatest heavyweight boxers, Tyson still has his grasp on the sports world, despite his health problems. According to Daily Mail, he once said, “I have sciatica every now and then, it flares up. When it flares up, I can?t even talk! Thank God it?s the only health problem I have.” It seems like Tyson left behind his pain and dressed to impress at the ESPYs.

And he definitely impressed, especially after he held up his own against the gorgeous Olivia Dunne. She rightly described the 57-year-old as a legend. The 20-year-old gymnastics star’s popularity has grown exponentially over the past few years. She has managed to garner around 12 million followers on social media, Tik Tok and Instagram combined. The crossover between Tyson and Dunne is a perfect example of the old generation of sports coming together with the new generation, both iconic in their own way.
