Mike Tyson Loses His Cool On A Flight After A Fan Gets Too Excited
What was supposed to be a smooth and comfortable ride for Mike Tyson turned into a frustrating one for the legendary boxer.
According to TMZ, Tyson had lost his cool on his flight from San Francisco International Airport to Florida when a fan allegedly kept annoying him. The news site reports that the incident between him and another passenger went down at around 10:30 PM PT. A witness shared that Tyson was initially cool with them and the other passengers, and even took selfies with a few of them. However, one passenger got a little too excited and kept trying to talk to the 55-year-old fighter as he sat behind him. It was said that Tyson eventually got super frustrated with the guy behind him who kept talking in his ear off and even asked him to chill. When the man didn’t, that’s when the witness said Tyson started to throw several punches at the man’s face.
The video obtained by TMZ only shows Tyson punching the man, which bloodied the passenger’s forehead. It’s unclear what exactly was said or happened before that to make Tyson go off. However, the witness says Mike walked off the plane just seconds later. As for the man, he reportedly received medical attention and then went to the police over the incident. Neither Tyson, the airline nor the police have released a statement regarding this latest incident.
Meanwhile, fans are reacting to the viral clip online. One fans said, “If Mike Tyson tells you to chill out and you do not, get ready for a hospital trip.” Another added, “Who wouldn’t chill the hell out when being told by Mike Tyson to chill the hell out?” A third said, “whatever buddy did to Mike Tyson, he def deserved it… Mike is like one of the most chill dudes ever now lol.”
