Wow! Mike Tyson Turns Out to Suffer from 3 Serious Diseases Before Losing to Jake Paul

Kapanlagi.com - KLovers, who doesn't know Mike Tyson? This legendary boxer has just lost to Jake Paul, but behind his bravery, Tyson is actually facing three serious health issues. Although he still dares to step into the ring, Iron Mike's condition is far from optimal.

At the age of 58, Tyson admits to suffering from sciatica, which causes nerve pain. Worse still, this condition once forced him to use a wheelchair and a cane while at Miami Airport in 2022. "When this disease flares up, I can't even speak," Tyson revealed in an interview with Newsmax.

The second issue Iron Mike faces is his back condition, which has been problematic since 2002. After the fight against Lennox Lewis, Tyson said his back was 'broken' and to this day he often experiences shifts due to the effects of training and fighting for decades. Let's take a closer look at the news below!

1. Critical due to Bleeding Ulcer

The third and most concerning, Tyson has just experienced a critical condition due to a bleeding ulcer. While on a flight from Miami a few months ago, he suddenly vomited blood. After examination, a 6.3-centimeter bleeding ulcer was found! In that severe condition, Tyson even asked the doctor if he was going to die. "I don't want to die in a hospital, I want to die in the ring," he expressed in the Netflix documentary Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson. During the recovery period, he lost 12 kilograms!

This condition highlights the seriousness of the health issues Tyson is facing. The doctor advised him to rest and avoid heavy activities, but his fighting spirit to continue fighting remains strong. Tyson feels that even in a critical state, he wants to prove that his fighting spirit will never fade, even amidst severe health challenges.

2. Daring to Fight Despite Being Sick

Despite having three serious health issues, Tyson still dared to fight against Jake Paul, who is 31 years younger. Before the fight, he even asked those around him to wear masks to protect his health. According to Stephen Hughes, a senior medical lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University, Tyson's brain is also at risk due to age factors. "In older individuals, the brain tends to lose volume, making blood vessels more susceptible to rupture," he explained.
