It is very well known that Mike Tyson has been struggling with sciatica. It’s a condition that affects the nerves leading to excruciating pain in the lower back and leg. Previously, he was also seen in a wheelchair at the Miami Airport after which he revealed that he was suffering from the condition. Recently, a video of Mike Tyson trying a trick on skateboarding and failing resurfaced. The YouTube video is from the episode where Tony Hawk appeared on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson as a guest.
In the video, the boxing legend tried to perform a stunt on a skateboard. However, due to his lack of skills, he lost his balance and fell backward. Luckily there was a sofa at the back and he was able to trip upon it. He looked quite afraid as he quickly told his wife, “I’m okay baby, nothing happened”. Although at the time it appeared that nothing went wrong, Tyson recently revealed that it had worsened his back injuries. He stated that since then his back has never been the same.
‘Iron Mike’ doesn’t regret his stunt and also revealed the reason for performing it. He stated, “I don’t know. Well, you gotta show off to everybody that you’re the flyest ni**a.” The resurfaced clip once again brought the accident to fans’ notice as they shared their responses to the video.
