Mike Tyson Caught On Video Repeatedly Punching Passenger Who Kept Provoking Him On Plane

Mike Tyson Caught On Video Repeatedly Punching Passenger Who Kept Provoking Him On Plane

A viral video shows champion boxer Mike Tyson repeatedly punching a passenger who kept harassing him on a JetBlue flight from San Francisco to Florida on Wednesday.

Witnesses reported that Tyson, who'd been in San Francisco for 4/20 festivities, initially appeared in good spirits and was taking selfies with fellow passengers.


But things took a turn when a passenger seated behind him wouldn't leave him alone and repeatedly provoked him.

After patiently enduring the harassment and warning the passenger to leave him alone, Tyson threw several punches to the passenger's face, leaving him dazed and bloody as seen below.

WARNING: graphic violence

Tyson's representatives claim the man had also thrown a water bottle at him, and witnesses reported that he was visibly intoxicated. Witnesses also told TMZ that Tyson walked off the plane moments after punching the passenger.

After receiving medical attention, the man went to the San Francisco Police Department, which confirmed the incident, though not the parties involved.

Their statement read in part:

“On Wednesday April 20, 2022, at approximately 10:06 p.m., San Francisco Police officers assigned to the SFPD Airport Bureau were dispatched to a physical altercation onboard an airplane located at the Domestic Terminal of the San Francisco International Airport."
"Officers arrived and detained two subjects that were believed to be involved in the incident."
"One subject was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. That subject provided minimal details of the incident and refused to cooperate further with the police investigation."

Disturbing as the footage may be, many on Twitter didn't exactly feel sorry for the obnoxious passenger.







But not everyone was on Tyson's side.

Tyson has a long history of violent encounters, most infamously in 1997 when he bit off a part of fellow boxer Evander Holyfield's ear during a match.

He also served six years in prison for a rape conviction in 1992, and was accused of domestic violence by his former wife, actress Robin Givens.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
