Boxing legend, Mike Tyson seemed to lose his cool on a plane on April 20 and repeatedly punched a passenger in the face after the man had apparently annoyed him, TMZ Sports reports.
The incident all went down at around 10:30 PM PT as Tyson was slated to fly out of San Francisco International Airport to Florida in the United States.

Sources close to the boxer claim the man was extremely intoxicated and wouldn’t stop provoking Tyson in his seat.
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 added that Tyson took a selfie with him and then was patient with this overly excited, who kept trying to talk to the 55-year-old fighter as he sat behind him.
Eventually, though, Tyson had enough of the man behind him talking in his ear and told him to chill. When the man didn’t, that’s when the witness says Tyson started to throw several punches at the man’s face.

A video shows Tyson throwing a flurry of blows at the man, and you can see bloodied the passenger’s forehead. The witness says Mike walked off the plane just seconds later.
The man who was punched received medical attention and then went to the police over the incident.
