A witness on the plane told TMZ that the former heavyweight champ was initially cordial to fans asking for photographs but one man continued talking in Tyson’s ear which appeared to irritate him before punches flew.
A source reportedly told TMZ that the man who approached Tyson was extremely intoxicated.
Don’t matter if the victim was drunk as he did not physically attack Tyson.
If people can’t handle others gawking at them, trying to get their autographs, or simply annoying them, stay the hell away from fame, as it goes hand in hand. It’s part of the territory.
He was also, according to the State of Florida, a "habitual felony offender."
