Iron Mike sat with boxing champion Terence Crawford to watch the Octagon card.

He was seen with the walking stick he was spotted using earlier this week.

The 56-year-old moved slowly as he made his way to the entrance a New York hotel using the stick on Wednesday.

The former world heavyweight champion boxer scarily revealed earlier this month on his Hotboxin’ podcast that he believes he is going to die “really soon”.

And how he has been pictured using a stick for assistance.

Tyson recently said: “We’re all gonna die one day of course. Then, when I look in the mirror, I see those little spots on my face.

“I say, ‘Wow. That means my expiration date is coming close, really soon.'”

Tyson walking with the aid of a stick comes despite recent training footage showing the heavyweight legend looking as sharp as ever.

The former champ still trains regularly.

And in footage posted online Tyson showed off some brutal body shots with slick defence, proving he’s still got it.

Tyson recently gave his verdict on who would win in a battle of Britain clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

The Gypsy King has confirmed he will come out of retirement to fight AJ – but only if the bout if put on for FREE.

And Tyson reckons the undefeated Fury is “too elusive” for Joshua, and would come out on top.

He told Fight Hype TV: “You know I love Joshua but I think Tyson’s too elusive and he’s [Joshua] not gonna hit him.”

He added: “Listen we’re keeping it honest right, I like Joshua a lot right, maybe he punches harder than [Deontay] Wilder – but he doesn’t punch faster than Wilder.

“If he doesn’t punch faster than a Wilder he’s not going to f***ing touch this guy and that’s just what I see.

“He [Joshua] punches hard but he doesn’t punch fast, if Tyson Fury can get away from Wilder’s fast punches – Joshua might be in trouble.”
