Weeks after claiming his expiration date was “coming close”, boxing icon Mike Tyson has been spotted in a wheelchair at Miami International Airport.

The 56-year-old posed for photos with fans as he was rolled through the airport terminal on Tuesday having suffered a “sciatica flare-up” in his lower back.

A similar flare-up two years ago left the former heavyweight champion in tears and bedridden for two weeks.

He was also pictured using a cane in New York City last month.

The boxing legend was filmed making his way from a car to his hotel room, using what appeared to be the same walking stick he held in Miami.

An insider told TMZ at the time: “It‘s just an occupational hazard for an athlete like Mike.” Culled: Fox sports.
