Mike Tyson was seen being wheeled through Miami International Airport on Tuesday after recently saying his “expiration date is coming close.”

The former heavyweight champion has dealt with back problems recently and was spotted in July walking with a cane in New York City.

"He's dealing with a sciatica flare-up, nothing serious. Just an occupational hazard for an athlete like Mike," a source explained to TMZ Sports.

On a July episode of his podcast, Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, the boxing legend said he was coming to grips with death amid a broader conversation about the lasting insignificance of money.

"We’re all going to die one day, of course," Tyson said. "Then, when I look in the mirror and I see those little spots on my face, and I say, ‘Wow, my expiration date is coming close — really soon.’"
