Mike Tyson's Comment Further Fuels Jamie Foxx Health Speculation

Mike Tyson may have potentially revealed the mystery "medical complication" that Jamie Foxx suffered back in April.

While making an appearance on the PBD Podcast, the 56-year-old former professional boxer opened up about what he allegedly heard happened when the Django Unchained actor, 55, was taken to the hospital.

“He’s not feeling well,” Tyson told the host, Patrick Bet-David on the May 16 episode. “They said [it was] a stroke," he said initially before quickly clarifying, "I have no idea what happened to him.”

Bet-David also went on to say that they saw Foxx at a restaurant in Los Angeles a couple of months before the news of his hospitalization. "We were at a restaurant in LA, and he showed up and looked really good, and then all of a sudden you hear the stories about (his hospitalization)."

Though, it appears to remain unclear whether or not Foxx suffered from a stroke as there have not been any further comments regarding his health issues from anyone close to the actor.

Foxx's daughter, Corinne Foxx, first released a statement on behalf of their family to alert fans that her father had been suffering from an undisclosed medical issue.

"From the Foxx family: We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday," she wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post. "Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery."

"We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers," Corinne added. "The family asks for privacy during this time," she added, signing the message, "Much love, the Foxx family."

She later shot down rumors that his health was declining and that the family was preparing for the worst, noting, "Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating," adding that he was "playing pickleball yesterday!"

However, Foxx is seemingly on the mend as he just announced his return to television last week, May 15 where he will be hosting a game show alongside his 29-year-old daughter.

Titled We Are Family, the game show will feature one celebrity in each episode who will perform a duet alongside a non-famous relative of theirs. The star's identity will be hidden until the audience correctly guesses who they are, giving them a chance to win up to $100,000. The celebrities will range from musicians to professional athletes, actors, and more.

While We Are Family does not have an official release date, it is expected to debut sometime in 2024.

Foxx was also reportedly receiving rehabilitation treatment in Chicago.
