FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Mike tyson admits he shouldn t be flying on public planes after recent row | History Defined

Boxing legend Mike Tyson admits he shouldn't be flying on public planes after recently being involved in a violent row with another passenger.

'Iron Mike' was filmed repeatedly punching 36-year-old Melvin George Townsend III whilst onboard a JetBlue plane last month, leaving him bloodied with cuts to his forehead. A District Attorney refused to punish Tyson for his actions, deeming he was provoked by Mr Townsend.

Tyson claimed Mr Townsend threw a bottle of water at him before the attack. The 55-year-old, who said that Mr Townsend was "f******" with him, thinks he shouldn't be flying on public planes after the incident.
