Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson got into an altercation on Wednesday evening with a fellow passenger on a flight from San Francisco to Florida. Video shows Tyson, clearly annoyed, responding to the drunk passenger's antics. At one point, Tyson got out of his seat to deliver a few light punches to the young man's face to stop him, leaving noticeable marks, according to TMZ, which reported eyewitness accounts.
The 56-year-old boxer was initially friendly and even took a "selfie" with the young man and other passengers. However, the passenger sitting directly behind him continued to joke and leaned closer to Tyson's ear to speak to him. Despite Tyson asking him multiple times to stop, the harassment continued, leading Tyson to take action. Following the incident, the passenger sought medical attention and subsequently reported Tyson to the police.
