Mike Tyson’s fan fiascos

Tyson has been falling victim to intentional onslaughts from overenthusiastic fans over the past few weeks. Moreover, his reactions to being heckled have led to Tyson being antagonized by many.

He was recently on the news for punching a passenger on a plane. Tyson was flying out of the San Francisco International Airport to Florida when the, now viral, incident took place.

According to witnesses, Tyson was initially friendly with the passengers and even took selfies with a few. However, an overzealous guy tried to repeatedly talk and prod Tyson while seated behind him. Tyson, who was annoyed by the repeated prodding, asked the passenger to chill.   But the passenger who did not relent was at the receiving end of a brutal barrage from Tyson.

Mere weeks after the plane incident, Tyson found himself embroiled in another heated encounter with a fan. He was in Las Vegas for the Oscar Valdez vs Shakur Stevenson bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Tyson was posing for pictures with fans when a woman leaned over and put her finger across his face. A visibly annoyed Tyson, turned around to confront the fan, who quickly apologized.
