Ronaldo Nazario poses alongside boxing icon Mike Tyson as the legendary pair both show off their incredible weight loss transformations as Iron Mike recovers from recent health scare

Former Brazil star Ronaldo crossed paths with ex-heavyweight champions Mike Tyson recently and their weight transformation was on show.

Ronaldo, 47, was at one point one of the best footballers on the planet and is, to this day, considered one of the best to play the sport. 

However, he gained a lot of weight after calling time on his hugely successful career, which saw him win two Ballon d’Ors, in 2011 having been hampered by injuries. 

He weighed almost 300 pounds at one point but now look in incredible shape as he posed alongside Tyson last week. 

Ronaldo, who won the the World Cup with Brazil in 1994 and 2002, looks to have lost at least 70 pounds or possibly more.

He adopted the nickname ‘Fat Ronaldo’ following the emergence of Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, but fans may have to come up with a new name after the Brazilian’s recent weight loss.  

Meanwhile, Tyson also looked to have slimmed down as he continues to recover from a recent health scare. 

Tyson, who turns 58 later this month, was initially set to meet YouTuber Jake Paul, 27, in a controversial fight which had divided opinion because of the significant age gap between the two men.

However, earlier this month ‘Iron Mike’ officially withdrew from the July 20 event after suffering a health scare on a recent flight from Miami to Los Angeles.

The former undisputed heavyweight champion required medical attention after an ulcer flare up left him nauseous and dizzy, with paramedics eventually boarding the plane to treat him after it had touched down in LA.

As a result, Tyson has been forced to delay his showdown with the YouTuber-turned-fighter until November 15, when he hopes to be fit enough to compete professionally again for the first time in almost two decades.

Prior to the postponement, shared his gruelling power in training and looked to be back in the peak shape that saw him have an illustrious career. 

However, Tyson will have to start from scratch if the rescheduled fight is to go ahead, provided he returns to full health 

The former world heavyweight champion has taken part in exhibitions since retiring, most recently taking on fellow fight legend Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
