Man, I saw this thing trending online, “Mike Tyson deceased,” and I was like, no way, that can’t be right. So, I had to do my own digging.
First Step: Quick Google Search
First thing I did was fire up Google. I just typed in “Mike Tyson deceased” and, man, the results were all over the place. Some sites were saying it was a hoax, others were acting like it was real. It was a total mess.
Checking Reputable News Sites
I knew I couldn’t trust just any website, so I went straight to the big news outlets. I checked CNN, BBC, ESPN, you know, the ones that usually get it right. I looked for anything about Mike Tyson, any recent news at all.
- Scrolled through their main pages.
- Used their search bars to specifically look for “Mike Tyson.”
- Checked their sports sections, just in case.
Nothing. Not a single mention of anything happening to Tyson. That was my first big clue that this whole thing was probably fake.
Social Media Deep Dive
Next, I jumped on social media. Twitter is usually where news breaks first, right? I searched for “Mike Tyson” and sorted by “Latest.” Lots of people were talking about it, asking if it was true, but no one had any real proof.
Then I went to Facebook and Instagram. I tried to find Tyson’s official accounts, or accounts of people close to him, like his family or management. If something had happened, they’d be the first to say something, right?
His accounts were all normal. Recent posts, regular stuff. No mentions of any problems. Okay, this was looking more and more like a hoax.
Putting It All Together
After checking all these places, I was pretty sure. My thought about it is the “Mike Tyson deceased” thing was just another internet rumor. All the reliable news sites had nothing, his social media was normal, and there was no solid evidence anywhere.
It’s crazy how fast these things can spread, though. It just shows you can’t believe everything you read online. You gotta do your own checking, look at multiple sources, and use your common sense. So, as far as I can tell, Iron Mike is still with us.
