Boxing legend Mike Tyson filmed punching man on plane

Mike Tyson has been filmed losing his cool during a flight in the United States, the former world heavyweight champion punching a fellow passenger on several occasion.

On a flight between San Francisco and Fort Lauderdale, the boxing legend was seemingly approached by a fellow passenger who wanted to speak with him.

However, in footage obtained by TMZ, the 55-year-old seemingly grew tired with the exchange after the passenger persists with trying to communicate with him and posing for a photo while sat behind his seat.

Tyson is seen punching the unnamed passenger on several occasions as a male within touching distance of the incident attempts to defuse the situation.

The person taking the video later claims that his friend, who required medical attention for several cuts to his faces, had “asked for an autograph”.

As it stands, it is unclear whether Tyson will be investigated or if the victim will look to press charges.
