Mike Tyson appeared to be in good spirits in Miami on Thursday, just hours after the former boxer was allegedly caught on video punching another passenger on a flight out of San Francisco on Wednesday night.
Ric Flair, the legendary wrestler, posted a photo of Tyson at LIV, a Miami nightclub, on Thursday evening.
Tyson was photographed alongside Flair holding up his left fist while wearing a black FightCamp t-shirt. FightCamp is a fitness startup that reportedly raised $90 million in funding from a number of prominent boxers, including Tyson.
According to TMZ, Tyson was scheduled to speak at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference Afterparty at LIV around 8:00 p.m. The boxer was originally scheduled to speak at the weed industry event at 12:05 p.m., but had to cancel "due to a flight change," according to the outlet.
Earlier in the day, Tyson was seen smiling as he checked into his Miami hotel.Tyson appeared to punch a man in the row behind him at San Francisco International Airport, according to video released by TMZ Sports on Thursday. The man continued to badger Tyson after he told him to "chill," according to the report.
According to the San Francisco Police Department, two suspects were detained and one person was treated for non-life threatening injuries. They added that the individual receiving treatment "provided only rudimentary details of the incident and refused to cooperate with the police investigation."
According to a witness on the plane, Tyson was initially cordial to fans seeking photographs, but one man continued to speak in his ear, which appeared to irritate him prior to punches being thrown.
Tyson's representative confirmed to TMZ Sports that the man not only harassed the boxer but also threw a water bottle at him prior to the incident — but Tyson could face serious consequences, according to Chicago-based attorney Andrew Stoltmann.MIKE TYSON COULD FACE A FELONY CHARGE IN CONNECTION WITH THE AIRPLANE INCIDENT, HIS ATTORNEY SAYS.
"Historically trained fighters, mixed martial artists, are typically held to a higher standard by both police and judges due to their intent," he told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
