Mike Tyson Bloodies Passenger Who Wouldn’t Stop Talking To Him On JetBlue

Matthew Klint Posted onApril 21, 2022 24 Comments

Famed boxer Mike Tyson attacked a passenger seated behind him on a JetBlue flight to Florida who would not stop talking to him.

Mike Tyson Bloodies Seatmate In JetBlue Mint Class

The incident occurred onboard a JetBlue flight from San Francisco (SFO) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) on Wednesday night. Tyson was traveling in JetBlue’s Mint business class product and so was the man who apparently would not leave the boxer alone.

The conversation started cordially. Tyson even agreed to a selfie. But the man and and his friend were relentless and would not stop talking. Eventually, Tyson told the guy to chill out. But he did not–the badgering continued.

At one point, Tyson had enough, stood up, and started hurling punches at the man seated behind him, drawing blood. All of this occurred before the flight even departed.

Tyson then stepped off the flight. So did the passenger, who sought medical attention and also the police. It isn’t clear if he will be filing charges. JetBlue has also not responded to a request for comment.

TMZ, which broke the story, reports that the bothersome passenger was extremely intoxicated.

Look, I appreciate peace and quiet onboard too. I won’t go out of my way to make small talk with my seatmate and I will always respect someone’s desire to be undistributed.

Here, we cannot excuse Tyson’s outburst…it exhibits a disgusting lack of self-control…but at the same time, part of me does feel bad for Tyson. It was a redeye flight: he just wanted to sleep.

If you watch the video above, you almost have to wonder if the whole thing was a set-up. Look at the gestures the passenger makes toward the camera. It’s almost as if this was a contest to stir up Tyson.

After the guy was beaten up, he is heard saying:

“My boy just got beat up by Mike Tyson. Yeah, he got f*cked up. Just trying to ask for an autograph. I don’t know what happened.”

Nonsense. It seems clear the passenger was harassing Tyson. Sometimes when you mess with fire, you get burned…

CONCLUSION

The ever-controversial Mike Tyson has been filmed striking a seatmate repeatedly in the face on a JetBlue flight to Florida. While we do not have all the details, it appears the passenger refused to leave Tyson alone, leading to the conflict.

    I hope Mike sets up a Gofundme to cover the legal costs of not only this fight, but beating this guy up again.

    Where are the FAs to throw the intoxicated passenger off the flight before an incident happens?

    I hardly think Mike is throwing punches unless he was beyond provoked. I would wager these clowns want a pay day after provoking Mike.

    Seems like this was their goal so they can sue Mike for whatever money he has. Sad world.

      My sympathy for Mike Tyson. He’s an emotionally, and I say this without insult, intellectually vulnerable person whose nonetheless physically powerful and this has led to people provoking and exploiting him for personal gain. He needs someone to look out for him.

      It’s sad that nobody reached out to the cabin crew to get the jerk to stop bothering him but instead filmed hoping something would happen. Mike should have raised the matter as well.

      Unfortunately, the guy still has both ears. Tyson was completely in the right on this one.

    You didn’t mention that he was coming from the 420 cannabis festival in Golden Gate Park before boarding. He might have consumed one too many “Mike Bites”.

    There’s a saying where my family is from in the Balkans: “Don’t poke a bear in the ass.”

    The implications are pretty clear, and this guy was definitely asking for it. Not condoning Tyson’s reaction, only that I wouldn’t have expected anything different.

    More people need punches in the face.

    This is one of those situations where I don’t generally support the reaction but Mike Tyson did not commit a sin here. Not responding with violence to any speech is the general operating principle as words are words but repeated harassment when one is asked to stop in a confined space is a different story. Anyone who provokes Mike Tyson with repeated harassment gets what is coming to him.

    Maybe Mike Tyson is who we need to heal the nation. 20 comments on a Live and Let Fly blog post and 100% all agree. When’s the last time that happened.

    Lucky this clown was able to walk away after getting punched by Tyson since he hits like a freight train with just a 1-2. In my opinion, he was encroaching the mans space, making threatening physical moves and it was self defense.

    I wish mike was seated in front of that bag of sh!t and it’s retired fbi husband coming out of west palm beach fl on jet blue yesterday. Where do these things come from. We need mental institutions re open in this country more so than infrastructure.

On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.
