It seems a passenger has pushed Mike Tyson into a rage while on a Jet Blue flight in the states. A witness told TMZ that the man was extremely intoxicated and wouldn’t stop harassing Tyson who reacted by raining down fists on the man as he cowered in his seat, leaving the man with visible blood oozing from his forehead.
After the altercation Tyson left the flight while the man appeared to have stayed on board with a person who was filming on their mobile phone stating, “My boy just got beat up by Mike Tyson… Yeah, he got f***ed up,” in between laughing.

So far there is no word of criminal charges, though Tyson cancelled his appearance at a cannabis conference where he was due to speak later that day. Later a representative for the former heavyweight champion released the following statement:
“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,” a rep for Tyson said.
