Boxing fans are worried for Mike Tyson's health after a recent video emerged online ahead of his fight against Jake Paul.
Tyson is set to return to action on July 20 when he takes on Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Paul was slammed by fight fans for his prediction as he issued a warning to the boxing legend.

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn didn't hold back as he shared his honest reaction to the shock booking between Paul and Tyson.
And fans on social media share the same sentiment judging by a recent video of Tyson at a UFC event.
In what appears to be footage from a few years ago, it shows Tyson using a walking stick.
He's also being assisted by a person to get around the arena. Check it out below:
Considering his age, fans are worried for the 57-year-old as they made their feelings clear towards 'The Problem Child'.
One X user wrote: "The man is almost 60 and his head has been pounded more times than he can remember. @jakepaul should be ashamed."

A second tweeted: "Tyson needs to permanently retire before he gets seriously hurt."
A third added: "He has Sciatica that acts up in his back from Training. This is ongoing for him. This Fight is nonsense."
A fourth slammed: "Jake shamelessly makes the fight."

Paul, who scored a knockout victory over Ryan Bourland earlier this month, fought on the undercard of Tyson's comeback fight against Roy Jones Jr as he made reference to that in a statement following the announcement.
"It's crazy to think that in my second pro fight I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson's undercard," he said. "Now, less than four years later, I'm stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing's most notorious fighters and biggest icons.
"Within just two and a half years of founding MVP, we're about to produce the biggest fight in history, a fight in the biggest NFL stadium in the US, broadcast live, on the biggest streaming platform in the world - a testament to all we've accomplished in such a short amount of time."
