Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson repeatedly punched a passenger on a plane about to fly out of San Francisco after reportedly becoming irritated by the man’s attempts to talk to him.

Cell phone footage showed Tyson leaning over the back of his seat and delivering a flurry of blows to the man, who appeared to be left with bruises and some bleeding in the incident on Wednesday.

“Iron Mike” was initially friendly to the passenger and his friend when they boarded the flight but reacted after the man “wouldn’t stop provoking” him, the TMZ entertainment website said.

The man “kept trying to talk” to the 55-year-old fighter, it reported.

“Tyson had enough of the guy behind him talking in his ear… and told him to chill. When the guy didn’t, that’s when the witness says Tyson started to throw several punches at the man’s face.”

Tyson was reported to have walked off the plane before it took off for Florida.

US police, the JetBlue airline and Tyson’s representatives made no immediate comment on Thursday.

Considered one of the best heavyweights of all time, Tyson is also known for his erratic behavior — biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear in a 1997 bout — and brushes with the law, including a conviction for rape and a cocaine addiction.

Ha!..

Hmm..

Owomida agbero Tyson

Iron mike
I am not trying to justify what iron mike did but some people can be such a bum
Very annoying and frustrating shitheels I hope he doesn’t file any charge against my G

Iron Mike gat no chills

But what I see in the video is a white guy hailing the black mamba...as per sb who happened to be on board with a celebrity.

What happened there apart because I no go first find trouble... but it could be that the guy meant no harm..and probably, the water bottle just fell off (or wasn't even his) and Tyson was tryna showoff. So he projected his frustration at the fan since he'll still be the one to make the news and what he tells the media will become the caption.

But chief, I just dey imagine me on a normal day sha dey my dey jejely...so because you bi boxer you go come punch me wan come go scot-free because dem talk say you bi celeb. You and who dey box? When your papa no dey craze. I go nack you engine block for temple.

Maybe the guy was preaching to him and desperate to win a soul

Poor man

Hmmm

Fear woman if u wan live long...

The face go need breast feeding to go back to normal.

The passenger don collect

He (Tyson) has probably reached his frustration threshold...

He has had enough of the guy's blabs before sending him some punches.

The guy had it coming.

The man have see what he want,

The passenger brain go reset back to default mode

Damnnn niggar

How that guy go dey feel now

The next Grammy award anchor and host.

If you try any nonsense, you go collect.

He is not called " Iron Mike Tyson" for nothing.

I knew it would be a white man that would do that kind of upsetting

Imagine stalking the man after several warning and ended up throwing used bottled water at him.

It's very easy to manage Nigeria as a President than to manage anger especially when you reach your limit to hold it.

The same thing happened to Zidane against one of Italy player.

That's why I liked people that smoke weeeeed they're slow to anger but when they loose their anger......... thunder+bomb.

He deserved it

Self defense I’ll say.

.

The guy caused it. Watch the taunting he did before he got punched

Thank God he no foo lenu, na just ori tear

I pity that man

TOPCRUISE:
Maybe the guy was preaching to him

All these Jehovah's Witness.

Wahala

Mind your business please. No be by force to talk to people nah

Vawulence
