Former boxer Mike Tyson, 55, one of the best boxing champions of all time but also famous for his violent behavior, punched a passenger aboard a Jet Blue flight that was about to leave San Francisco direct in Florida.
The former heavyweight champion, apparently upset that the victim wanted to talk to him at all costs, held out for a while. Then he whirled around and punched his travel companion with a barrage of punches.
The man, who had bruised and bruised, was rescued by the other passengers and by the crew. While Tyson was dropped off before the plane took off.
The boxer, who bit the ear of rival Evander Holyfield in 1997, has also had frequent close encounters with justice over the years that have led to conviction for rape and cocaine addiction.
