After a violent outburst of anger by Mike Tyson on a JetBlue flight, for very justifiable reasons, late in April many fans were concerned that Tyson, who had been able to set his life on the course might have to deal with facing criminal charges again.
Tyson, who assaulted a man seated behind him on the flight could be seen being constantly taunted by a clearly intoxicated passenger. Today everyone on Tyson’s team can breathe a sigh of relief as it appears neither the man nor Tyson wants to take this matter any further.
Tyson, 55, was traveling by a JetBlue flight late last April when he was seated ahead of a drunk fan. In eyewitness videos of the incident, the fan can be seen repeatedly taunting the former heavyweight Champion, even looking at the camera filming him while screaming “peasants, peasants.”
According to Tyson’s team, the situation intensified when the fan threw a bottle at Tyson, prompting him to turn around and repeatedly punch the unruly passenger.

Luckily Tyson didn’t face any legal charges for the same, and it was revealed that the guy who got punched faced numerous charges in the past as well. Iron Mike recently appeared on The Jimmy Kimmel Live, and he was asked to comment on the situation. Tyson gave a surprising reply and said:
“I’m usually good at these things. I guess it was just his number. But I was wrong. That never should’ve happened, that’s me back at my primitive child stages. I shouldn’t have done that, but I was irritated, tired, high, pissed off, yeah. S**t happens.”
Tyson later said that he is trying his best to become a better human being, and he’s had enough trouble in the past dealing with his demons. The champ is one of the most prominent figures in the boxing circuit, and many thought he did the right thing by giving that man what he deserved.
