Here’s the official statement from the police, “Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat. On Wednesday, April 20, 2022, at approximately 10:06 p.m., San Francisco Police officers assigned to the SFPD Airport Bureau were dispatched to a physical altercation on board an airplane located at the Domestic Terminal of the San Francisco International Airport.”

They added, “Officers arrived and detained two subjects that were believed to be involved in the incident. One subject was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. That subject provided minimal details of the incident and refused to cooperate further with the police investigation. Both subjects were released … pending further investigation.”

It remains to be seen if Tyson will face any major charges for the altercation on the flight. This incident might cause some damage to Mike’s reputation.

Legendary heavyweight boxer last fought in an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. Mike Tyson who won the Heavyweight championship in boxing in the past has faced many celebrated boxers throughout his careers like Evander Holyfield, Roy Jones, and Lennox Lewis.

In his podcast Hotboxin on getting asked if he would be down to fight Jake Paul, he admitted he would love to but on the condition, he gets paid a billion dollars. Even Jake Paul has admitted that he would be more than happy to fight Mike as that fight would attract a lot of eyes. Although it seems unlikely that any promoter would pay either of them a billion dollars to fight each other in the ring.

Mike Tyson is about fifty-five years old but his training footage suggests that he can still take on many young fighters. It will be interesting to see if this fight actually happens in the near future. This would undoubtedly be one of the biggest boxing events this year.
