Mike Tyson: Boxer punches passenger on a plane, this is what made him snap

Mike Tyson strikes again! The former heavyweight boxer has stirred up the internet once again with his recent actions. He assaulted and punched a man on Wednesday, April 20, while on a flight to Florida, according to TMZ. The evidence of the incident was recorded on a video by another passenger who is also friends with the victim.

Moments before the incident

It's not every day that you see a celebrity boxer get into brawls on a flight. As per the statements released by Tyson's team, the passenger was a fan of Tyson. At first, Tyson complied with their requests and even took a selfie with him. However, after a while, he still continued to harass and pester Tyson with unnecessary remarks and comments.

After being provoked for so long the boxer finally snapped and grabbed the passenger, he then began to punch him repeatedly until they were intervened by another man. The victim was allegedly heavily intoxicated and both he and his friend have been taken into police custody.

Mike’s turbulent past

This is not the first time he has lost his temper. His infamous street fight with Mitch Green adds to the evidence of Mike’s hotheadedness. He has admitted to severe substance abuse after the tragic death of his 4-year-old daughter in a freak accident. After the sad tragedy, Mike’s drug and alcohol abuse spiralled, as he used them to cope with the grief of losing his child.

He is known for having severe anger management issues and has also been diagnosed with bipolar disorder in the mid-2000s. He has been in and out of rehab many times and is also in therapy. He admitted that rehab saved his life and helped him recover from his drug addiction.
