Mike Tyson Uninjured, Doing Fine Despite Cane Use In NYC

Mike Tyson wasn’t moving so well this week while out in New York – he needed a cane to get around – but TMZ Sports has learned that the boxing legend is not injured and is just dealing with normal wear and tear.

Iron Mike raised eyebrows on Tuesday – when fans and photographers made him move carefully as he made his way from the car to his hotel room.

The 56-year-old appeared to have a severe limp and was using a walking stick for support.

But sources close to Mike tell us he hasn’t suffered any new injuries – and is just dealing with an old back problem.

“He’s dealing with a sciatica flare-up,” our sources tell us. “Nothing serious. Just an occupational hazard for an athlete like Mike.”

That’s great news — especially considering just a few days ago, Mike said on his Hotboxin podcast that “my expiration date is coming, really soon.”
