Watch shocking moment Mike Tyson repeatedly punches passenger ‘who wouldn’t stop talking to him’ on plane
THIS is the shocking moment Mike Tyson unleashed a flurry of punches and bloodied a fellow air passenger – for reportedly throwing a bottle at him.
According to TMZ, Tyson got into it with an “overly excited” fan who sat behind him and kept talking “in his ear” after the American heavyweight asked him to “chill”.
The incident took place before a flight scheduled to leave San Francisco International Airport for Florida at 10:30pm local time.
Witnesses claim The Baddest Man on the Planet was initially “cool” with all his fellow passengers, including the one sat behind him and his friend.
Iron Mike even agreed to take a selfie with one of the two and remained “patient” with the other man sat in the row behind him.
However, the passenger reportedly continued to “annoy” the boxing legend and that is allegedly when the American boxer snapped.

A witness is heard saying during the cell phone footage: “Hey, Mike. Come on, stop that.”

The man shooting the video said: “My boy just got beat up by Mike Tyson.
