A video which surfaced online late Thursday evening showed the moment Boxing legend, Mike Tyson appeared to strike a fellow passenger on a commercial flight, Oyogist reports.
As seen from the video, the man sat in the seat behind Tyson enthusiastically speaking to the former boxing champion.
He had also leaned over the 55-Year old while doing so.
A source close to Tyson claims the passenger was “extremely intoxicated” and “wouldn’t stop provoking” him, resulting in an onslaught of punches.
Tyson further stated that the man also threw a water bottle at him.
Tyson “walked off the plane just seconds later,” per a witness, while the passenger, who is seen with a bloodied forehead in the footage, received medical attention.
“My boy just got beat up by Mike Tyson,” a passenger filming the ordeal apparently said from behind the camera.
“Yeah, he got f***ed up.”
Tyson was one of the best fighters of all time and won 50 of his 58 fights, reigning as undisputed heavyweight champion of the world from 1987 to 1990.
However, he bagged a jail sentence in 1992 for rape.
He regained a heavyweight title following his release after three years, but found himself in the spotlight for the wrong reasons again when he bit off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear during a title fight.
