Mike Tyson was filmed punching a passenger on an airplane
Iron Mike Tyson might not be fighting professional but he still is one of the most dangerous men in the world.
The 55-year-old former Heavyweight World Champion was seen punching the daylights out of a passenger on an airplane recently.
A video surfaced of Tyson punching a co-passenger but in another video it was shown that the former champion was being irritated by the person who got beat up.
It is safe to say that one should never irritate someone, let alone someone as dangerous as Tyson in an airplane.
The attack took place on a JetBlue flight, and suffice to say, the man in question was left a bit shocked after the attack.
Tyson’s spokesperson confirmed that the former champion did in fact beat up the passenger. An interesting part of the statement confirmed that the person was “harassing” Tyson and also threw a water bottle at Iron Mike.
“Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat.” (h/t BJ Penn)
An update from the police also confirmed that the man in question wasn’t cooperative after the incident.
Nevertheless, Tyson seems to have restrained himself a bit in the attack. There is no doubt the damage could have been more serious to the man if the former champion let himself go.
Many on social media have also lauded Tyson for his actions and supported the former champion. Seeing the video it is understandable why Tyson lost his cool and attacked the passenger.
