Mike Tyson breaks silence with cryptic message after Jake Paul made bizarre false medical claim

   

Mike Tyson has broke his silence on social media after Jake Paul's bizarre claims that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's before their controversial fight in November last year.

Tyson's camp promptly denied the claims made by Paul, who was speaking to fellow YouTube star Adin Ross during a livestream and discussing the usage of psychadelic drugs for healing purposes.

A clip of Paul's unfounded claims went viral on social media, where the American said: "Toad cured Tyson's Parkinson's so that he could come back and fight."

Tyson has since posted on his personal Instagram page of himself smiling with the cryptic caption: "I only laugh if something is funny."

It is the first time that Iron Mike has appeared to address the comments made by Paul, who retracted his claims on the boxing legend on social media.

"Bruh… Mike Tyson didn't have no Parkinson's... WTF. Why the f*** is the internet so stupid for. I misspoke," Paul wrote.

"He has spoken about it many times. Just like I do. Just like many do."

Tyson's camp made an immediate response to Paul's comments on his health with a strong rebuttal, with fans shocked by such a claim considering their high-profile fight in November last year.
