Mike Tyson Says Severe Foot Fungus Is 'Still Kicking My Ass'

He linked the infection to years of going sockless in the ring during a Jimmy Kimmel Live interview.

Overview

  • Tyson said the condition remains “really bad,” adding that over-the-counter remedies such as Desenex “cannot help” and that his toes “look like they blew up.”
  • He described persistent swelling and called the infection his toughest opponent, emphasizing its resistance to typical treatments.
  • The 59-year-old remains publicly active, with a one-man show underway and a December 14 performance scheduled to be filmed by Netflix for a special expected in 2026.
  • Reports indicate he and Floyd Mayweather have agreed to an exhibition in 2026, though the date and venue have not been announced.
  • The disclosure comes after a difficult 2024 that included an ulcer flare-up before his loss to Jake Paul and a separate hospitalization he said involved multiple blood transfusions.
