According to what a friend of the victim-turned-unexpected sparring partner told the portal, Tyson was initially kind to them and even allowed them to take a picture with him. But his friend didn’t have enough of this, he got excited or overly excited and kept talking to the boxer and whispering in his ear, which ended up provoking a violent reaction from Tyson, the youngest world heavyweight champion in history.

Sources close to Tyson told ‘TMZ’ that the man appeared to be “extremely intoxicated” and provocative on the ‘JetBlue’ flight.
