Mike Tyson wasn’t moving so well this week while out in New York City as he needed a cane to get around, but sources close to him told, the boxing legend is uninjured, and is just dealing with a bit of normal, wear-and-tear problems.

Iron Mike raised some eyebrows on Tuesday, when fans and photographers caught him moving gingerly as he made his way from a car to his hotel room.

The 56-year-old appeared to be limping heavily, and was using a walking stick for support.

But, sources close to Mike tell TMZ Sports, he hasn’t suffered any new injuries, and is just working through a little bit of an old back issue.

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

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

Hopefully not anytime remotely close to the near future — ’cause the world needs ya, Mike!!!
