Mike Tyson punches man on plane. See the video
Mike Tyson was seen repeatedly punching a passenger on a flight from San Francisco to Florida on Wednesday night, leaving the man with a bloodied forehead.
Footage obtained by TMZ shows the former heavyweight champion beating up a supposedly anxious fan in the seat right behind him.
This man initially had a cordial interaction with Tyson, according to TMZ. A witness said the man and a friend greeted the 55-year-old boxing legend as they boarded the plane and even took a picture with Tyson.
Tyson soon got tired of interacting with the man and reportedly asked him to be quiet.
When the man continued talking, Tyson punched the man several times in the face.
The incident came after Tyson shared a theory while high on marijuana during a recent podcast.
In Friday’s edition of The Joe Rogan Experience, a stoned Tyson said he “really believes” that the wealthy kidnap homeless people to stalk them on large private estates, unbeknownst to the uninitiated 99 percent.
After the two smoked pot – appearing to light up two separate joints as they sat across from each other at Rogan’s podcast table – Tyson told Rogan that “everything you think a human did to another human – happened. Whatever it is, it happened.
