One of the most iconic boxers the world has ever seen, Mike Tyson was spotted in a wheelchair as a few of his pictures surfaced on social media. The pictures have become a huge reason of worry among fans who couldn't believe they were seeing the boxer in such a condition.

The 56-year-old was pictured at Miami International Airport. Earlier, Tyson was also seen using a help of a walking stick in New York. While a source told TMZ that 'nothing is serious' with regards to Tyson's health, many fans have recalled the boxer's own words that his death is coming "really soon".

"We're all going to die one day, of course," he had said during his "Hotboxin' With Mike Tyson" podcast.

"When I look in the mirror and I see those little spots on my face," said Mike, "I say, 'Wow. My expiration date is coming close. Really soon'."

"I just want to die consciously. I don't want to die screaming. And I've heard the last rights of a lot of people - a lot of famous people - and they're getting ready to die, and they leave this planet screaming."

In the podcast, Tyson also said that he doesn't find much value in money as it doesn't bring security.

"What is security? I don't know. (Does) that mean you're not going to catch a disease? You can't get hit by a car?" he asked. "You can't jump off a bridge?"

"I always tell people they think a lot of money is gonna make them happy," he added.

"They never had a lot of money before. When you have a lot of money, you can't expect nobody to love you. How am I going to confess my love to you when you have $500 billion dollars? The false sense of security."

"You don't believe the banks can crash. You believe you're invisible when you have a lot of money, which isn't true. That's why I always say that money is a false sense of security."

It has also been reported that Tyson is presently "dealing with a sciatica flare-up" in his back which comes because of the kind of lifestyle he has had.
