Mike Tyson's fight with an airplane passenger is being portrayed as defense

Notorious for his violent temper, former heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson may once again find himself in the dock, as has happened to him more than once.

The other day on a flight from San Francisco to Florida, Tyson had the fight with a drunken neighbor who was allegedly bothering him to talk and demanding a photo with him.

After landing at the airport, the ex-athlete quickly left the cabin and the victim filed a police report.

Meanwhile, today Tyson's representative has already released a slightly different version, allegedly provoking Mike to use force.

According to the representative, the drunken passenger wasn't just bothering Tyson, but was being aggressive, insulting and bullying the boxer, offering to get into a fight.

And when he refused, he threw a water bottle at Tyson, after which Mike decided to calm down the rowdy neighbor with brute physical force.

All in all, Mike was just defending himself. Now let's see what the police, who are now investigating the incident, have to say.
