Mike Tyson repeatedly punching a man in the face while on a plane leaving San Francisco International Airport.
TMZ is reporting that Tyson began hitting the man seated behind him on a flight to Florida when the passenger began to bother him. The man was intoxicated, according to media reports.
The incident happened around 10:30 p.m. Tyson was in San Francisco for 4/20 festivities, as KRON4 previously reported.
Tyson once famously bit off part of boxer Evander Holyfield’s ear. He was also convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison, though he was released on parole after three years.
Tyson is no stranger to getting in trouble outside of the ring, however. Most notably, he served nearly three years in prison from 1992 to 1995 after being convicted of rape.
He also infamously bit Evander Holyfield’s ear during a 1997 fight that he lost by disqualification.
While Tyson hasn’t competed in an official pro boxing match since 2005, he did return to the ring in 2020 for an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. The eight-round fight was scored a split draw.
The incident occurred at San Francisco International Airport at 10:30 p.m. PT on a flight that was preparing to leave for Florida.
We’re informed the man who changed into punched acquired clinical interest and then went to the police over the incident.
