Mike Tyson is still punching.

The former heavyweight champ got onto a flight where he was met by a fan who wanted to take a picture with the boxing legend. Tyson ultimately obliged and appeared to be quite friendly with the man. In videos obtained by TMZ, Mike Tyson was eventually pestered incessantly by the man and despite numerous warnings to stop, the fan kept going.

That’s when Tyson got up and hit the man in the face numerous times before leaving the flight.

Now Tyson’s reps are speaking out on the altercation, stating that the man who was hit was very intoxicated and that he even threw a water bottle at Tyson.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat,” Tyson’s rep told TMZ.

Rule of thumb, don’t ever throw anything at Mike Tyson, not water bottles, and especially not hands.
