Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has been falling victim to blitzes from overenthusiastic fans over the past few weeks. The skeletons of Tyson’s viral incident with a heckler on a plane show no sign of staying buried.

Meanwhile, in what seems to be the latest addition to a probable ‘annoy a formidable heavyweight’ challenge, the champ found himself embroiled in another heated exchange with a fan.

Tyson, who was in Las Vegas ahead of the Oscar Valdez vs Shakur Stevenson showdown at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, stopped to pose for pictures with fans before leaving the venue. This was when a woman leaned over and put her finger across his face.

This action visibly disgruntled Tyson, who turned around to confront the fan. She was quick to apologize for her actions, mentioning that she did not mean to anger him.

However, security staff who were escorting Tyson were able to de-escalate the situation as multiple fans gathered around.

The fan did face any repercussions for her actions, but the previous incident should be a lesson for fans. Unnecessarily prodding ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ comes with dire consequences.

The fans’ perspective on the Mike Tyson incident

The recent weeks saw Tyson being antagonized by fans on two separate occasions. However, a lot of fans sided with ‘Iron’ after these incidents.

User @SimplyZaida 29 also felt that people were unnecessarily provoking Tyson, hoping to evoke adverse reactions from the former champ.

Similarly, user @fist_yoga felt people would not have dared to do this to Tyson in his prime.

Likewise, user @Itb2408 also felt that it was high time people respected Tyson’s privacy.

Another fan @Sweetchaosfox felt people love to mess with the wrong people. In this case, a former world heavyweight champion, not to mention one of the scariest heavyweights in the history of boxing.

User @Bernade05423306 hilariously mentioned that there was hearsay that Tyson was hosting the awards show. This seems to be a potential dig at the infamous Chris Rock vs Will Smith incident.

Another hysterical comment was from user @noperopejones. The user compared both the overzealous fans to people who jump into zoo enclosures.

User @Ugh_shutup felt Tyson needs a better security team.

In the same vein, user @ch33zus_ftw was at a loss for choice words after watching the incident.

The very action, of the woman sticking a finger across Tyson’s face, evoked a few hilarious reactions from fans.

Moreover, the fans were also quick to point out how the action can be considered very intrusive.

One of the most hilarious comments, however, came from user @olakunle1900. He felt that all the incidents were part of a conspiracy to put Tyson back in prison.
