Video: Tyson Erupts, Slugs Airline Passenger

Con Air!

Former heavyweight boxing champion MIke Tyson blew a gasket on Weds. night (April 20) after boarding a flight from San Francisco to Florida. It appears the 55 year-old pugilist was being harassed by a fellow passenger until “Iron” eventually lost his cool.

Have a look:

TMZ Sports with some context:

A witness on the plane says as he and his friend were boarding Tyson’s flight … the boxing legend was initially cool with them and the other passengers. The witness tells us Mike took a selfie with him … and then was patient with his overly excited buddy, who kept trying to talk to the 55-year-old fighter as he sat behind him. Eventually, though, we’re told 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.

Here’s the second part:

Tyson exited the aircraft following the altercation and the victim, who requested medical attention, reportedly went to the police.
