Mike Tyson Punched A Man Who Was Harassing Him On An Airplane

April 21, 2022 / Posted by:

Today in fuck around and find out news, a man learned what happens when you poke a bear with a stick and have nowhere to hide because you’re in a tin can soaring 35,000 feet in the air at 500 MPH. TMZ reports that yesterday, a drunken fool was seated behind Mike Tyson on a JetBlue flight from San Francisco, where Mike had been attending the internationally famous 420 day cannabis festivities at Golden Gate Park and tried it. As if air travel isn’t bad enough as it is without assholes who are not named Will Smith rapping I Think I Could Beat Mike Tyson to Mike Tyson!

All moist like too, spitting it at the back of his head while seated in first class. So Déclassé. Since Will turned Oscars into the Wild Wild West, Mike, who initially played nice, apparently felt the need to introduce air travel as the nation’s preferred venue for celebrity fisticuffs. So Déclassé. Zsa Zsa Gabor would never! TMZ reports:

Mike Tyson seemed to lose his cool on a plane on Wednesday night … repeatedly punching a man in the face after the guy had apparently annoyed him.

TMZ Sports has learned … the incident all went down at around 10:30 PM PT as Tyson was slated to fly out of San Francisco International Airport to Florida.

Oh, I see. They were headed to Florida. Well, that explains a lot actually. Carry on!

A witness on the plane says as he and his friend were boarding Tyson’s flight … the boxing legend was initially cool with them and the other passengers.

The witness tells us Mike took a selfie with him … and then was patient with his overly excited buddy, who kept trying to talk to the 55-year-old fighter as he sat behind him.

Eventually, though, we’re told Tyson had enough of the guy behind him talking in his ear … and told him to chill. When the guy didn’t, that’s when the witness says Tyson started to throw several punches at the man’s face.

Mike’s reps also tell TMZ that the passenger threw a water bottle at him:

“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.”

Here’s the video which is a good reminder that even if the national mask mandate has been lifted, you can still wear one if you happen to have an extremely punchable face like this fool does.

See, this is why I wear a mask, earplugs, noise-canceling headphones, and a pair of novelty Groucho Marx glasses every time I fly. If you’re not tapping me to hand me a drink or an oxygen mask, you simply do not exist. A representative for Mike claims the man was “extremely intoxicated” and wouldn’t leave him alone. I’m sure Twitter is working around the clock to identify the man who TMZ says sought medical attention and went to the police following the altercation. I know flight attendants carry aspirin and band-aids, but I guess he had to seek a specialist to deal with his raging case of punkassbitcatosis. Yet another condition that wearing a mask can prevent!
