On Wednesday night, a man on a plane with Mike Tyson kept speaking to the boxer without permission, to which Tyson punched him repeatedly.
Despite Wednesday being 420, cannabis-enthusiast Mike Tyson lost his cool. According to TMZ, the legendary boxer was slated to fly out of San Francisco International Airport to Florida on a JetBlue plane around 10:30 PM PT when a man approached him on the plane, wanting to take a selfie.
Tyson took a selfie with the man, whose overzealous friend attempted to talk to the boxer repeatedly, although Tyson didn’t want to converse with them. When the passenger – who was allegedly intoxicated – didn’t stop talking to Tyson and the boxer threw several punches at their face, in which their forehead became bloodied.
The incident was captured on camera, but Tyson left the landed plane just seconds later. The man allegedly received medical attention and also went to the police to report the incident.
