Mike Tyson has always had a reputation for not being in control. In a boxing match, he once bit off a piece of his opponent’s ear. Did Tyson hit a man on a plane?
Boxing legend Mike Tyson apparently beat up a passenger on a plane.
A spokesman for Tyson confirmed a conflict in the machine to the German Press Agency on request: “Unfortunately, Mr Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began to harass him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat sat.” The spokesman did not directly confirm a video circulating on the Internet.
It shows a man beating another person. According to the celebrity magazine “TMZ”, it was 55-year-old Tyson. Photos of the allegedly beaten man with red marks on his face also spread rapidly on the Internet.
Tyson has had an image of not being in control for years. 25 years ago he bit off a piece of his opponent Evander Holyfield’s ear in a heavyweight boxing match.
