Sciatica is a condition that affects the body's sciatic nerve. It causes lower back and hip pain, as well as pain on the outside of the leg. Athletes are more likely to experience this pain due to the strain on their muscles while exercising. Many UFC fighters, including Cain Velasquez and Anderson Silva, have previously admitted to suffering from sciatica.

Mike Tyson reveals biggest fear during boxing prime

Mike Tyson's ferocious knockouts in the ring earned him the moniker 'The Baddest Man on the Planet'. After successfully putting Trevor Berbick to sleep, he became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at the age of 20. For many fighters of his era, the boxing legend was a nightmare. However, even Tyson suffers from insecurities and fears.

'Iron Mike' detailed his troubled childhood in a recent clip uploaded to Alpha Influence's YouTube channel. He also mentioned how his constant fear during the prime of his boxing career was not being loved or accepted by the people around him.

Furthermore, Mike Tyson detailed how his adoptive father, Cus D'Amato, introduced him to boxing and helped him achieve some stability in his life:

"No one loving me [was my biggest fear]. Not being accepted, being a nobody... I come from dog-eat-dog kind of world. I met somebody [Cus D'Amato], he showed me the basics of life. You know, be kind to people the way you want people to be kind to you. But my main objective was to be the best in the world."
