Mike Tyson's team has claimed his alleged attack on a fellow plane passenger took place after he "had a bottle of water thrown at him".
A video appeared to show Iron Mike getting physical with a man who was sat behind him on a flight out of San Francisco International Airport on Wednesday night. The alleged victim was, according to sources close to Tyson, "extremely intoxicated" and was repeatedly provoking the retired fighter.
After initially being happy to speak with the man and pose for a photo, Tyson seemed to grow tired of the constant badgering. When he reportedly ignored repeated requests to leave him alone, the retired boxer appeared to throw several punches and left the man with cuts to his face.
