Mike Tyson filmed repeatedly punching passenger on plane

Mike Tyson was filmed on Wednesday night

Mike Tyson has been filmed appearing to punch a man in the face on a plane after he apparently lost his cool with the passenger. As reported by TMZ the incident occurred on Wednesday night at around 10:30pm local time as Tyson boarded a flight from San Francisco to Florida. One witness who was on the plane claimed that as both he and his friend had boarded the flight, the boxing legend appeared to be friendly with all the passengers on board. He also added that Tyson was happy to pose for photos and remained patient with his friend who was keen to sit and talk to the legendary 55-year-old fighter.

Tyson lost his cool after the passenger continued to speak to him

However, it appeared that after a while, Tyson grew tired of the passenger's desire to speak to him, before initially telling him to calm down. But failing to take the former boxer's advice, the man continued, leading to Tyson losing his cool and appearing to punch him in the face. Video footage shows Tyson landing a series of heavy hits on the passenger leaving him with a bloodied face before the 55-year-old then walked off the plane moments later. https://twitter.com/raphousetv2/status/1517143563905081344 Further reports have suggested that the victim received medical attention and reported Tyson to the local authorities. Both the flight-line, Jet Blue, and Tyson's camp have also yet to respond to the incident. Related links:
