Former Brazil star Ronaldo recently met with ex-heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, showcasing their impressive weight transformations. Ronaldo, 47, once among the world’s top footballers and still considered one of the sport’s finest, faced weight gain post-retirement from a decorated career that included two Ballon d’Or awards due to persistent injuries.
At one stage, Ronaldo reached nearly 300 pounds but has since achieved remarkable fitness, as evidenced in his recent photo alongside Tyson. Meanwhile, Tyson, who turns 58 later this month, has also visibly slimmed down as he recovers from health issues. Originally scheduled to face YouTuber Jake Paul, 27, in a contentious match given their age gap, Tyson’s plans were postponed due to medical concerns related to an ulcer flare-up that caused nausea and dizziness. Emergency medical attention was required upon landing in LA.
Tyson aims to return to professional boxing on November 15, marking his first bout in almost two decades, pending his recovery to full health.
