Towards the end, Tyson entertained a very genuine question regarding overzealous fans. According to the 55-year-old phenomenon, embracing overzealous fans with affection is the best way of dealing with them. He said, “Hug him, love him.”

Contrary to this, though, when Tyson encountered an over-aggressive fan earlier on a flight from Chicago, he unloaded a flurry of punches that made world headlines.

The incident caught heavy media attention. However, witnesses claimed that the guy involved pushed Tyson to the limit. Reportedly, he even threw a water bottle at the legend and when Tyson asked him to calm down, he paid no heed.
