On a flight from San Francisco to Florida on Wednesday evening, Mike Tyson, the 55-year-old boxing legend, allegedly punched a fellow passenger. Tyson’s rage had such an effect on the passenger that he was seriously bruised and had a bloodied forehead.
In the footage, Tyson is seen hitting an enthusiastic fan sitting in the seat directly behind him. According to a witness, a man and his friend met Tyson and talked with him as he boarded the plane. Soon after, the legendary boxer had had enough of interacting with them. He begged them to remain silent. The man continued to speak despite his request, which irritated Tyson, and he eventually lost his calm. (Phentermine)
Not the first time Mike Tyson has been in trouble outside the ring
Tyson lost his cool, got out of his seat, and spun around to smack the fellow passenger in the face, leaving him badly damaged. The aftermath of the event was also captured on camera from the flight; with the man displaying traces of blood on his forehead. TMZ has shared the video of the attack. Witnesses said Tyson exited the plane seconds after launching a barrage of punches at the victim.
Mike Tyson is one of the greatest boxers of all time. Since 1985, Tyson, alias Iron Mike, has had a successful fighting career. Fans witnessed him win 50 of the 58 battles he took part in, with only six defeats. He is, however, no stranger to getting himself into problems outside of work. He spent nearly three years in prison between 1992 and 1995 after being accused of rape. During a 1997 fight, he bizarrely chewed Evander Holyfield’s ear off, resulting in Tyson’s disqualification. Mike retired from boxing in the year 2005. He is presently pursuing a career in the marijuana industry. Since 2016, through his Tyson Holistic label, he has been legally selling marijuana.
