Mike Tyson, 56, pictured using walking stick as he arrives at New York hotel

Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson stopped to listen to talk to fans as he made his way into his New York hotel with the aid of a walking stick

Heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was pictured using a walking stick as he arrived at a hotel in New York City.

The boxer, 56, was all smiles as he talked to the paparazzi and fans before entering the building.

He rocked a pastel pink polo shirt and beige shorts to combat the summer heat in the city.

Mike stopped to listen to fans before limping into the hotel while using the stick to assist him.

It comes after the legendary boxer said he fears his 'expiration date' is coming 'real soon' after seeing spots on his face while looking in the mirror.

He spoke to therapist Sean McFarland on an episode of his podcast Hot Boxin' when he began discussing death.

Mike talked about the problem with people spending too much time analysing their lives as opposed to moving forward with things, when he made the relatively common point that "we're all going to die".

However, he didn't stop there as he delved into his own mortality, admitting that he feels his final days are edging closer.

"Some people want to analyse their success, which is ridiculous," Mike explained. "We're all going to die one day, of course.

"Then I look in the mirror and I see those little spots on my face and I go 'wow, my expiration date is coming close really soon, what do you do with that, how do you think about that death thing?"

Meanwhile, the therapist didn't feel as melancholic about the concept of death and ageing.

He joked that he doesn't worry about it, to which the boxer replied that he doesn't either.

"I'm not sweating it," he insisted. "I just want to die consciously.

"I don't want to die screaming. I've heard the last rights of a lot of people - a lot of famous people - and they're getting ready to die, and they leave this planet screaming.

"The New York Times says this, the Vanity Fair says that but they become scared little boys in the end because they're not right with truth and they're haunted by all of their demons. I just want to die consciously, after a good swim hopefully."
