Mike Tyson has made heads turn for all the wrong reasons. The 55-year-old boxing legend reportedly punched a fellow passenger on a flight from San Francisco to Florida on Wednesday evening (April 20). Such was the impact of Tyson's anger on the fellow passenger that he was left badly bruised with a bloody forehead.

Cell phone footage, obtained by TMZ, displays&nbsp;the former heavyweight champion smacking an allegedly over-eager fan in the seat directly behind Tyson. A witness revealed that a man and his friend greeted Tyson while boarding the flight and interacted with him. Soon, the veteran boxer got tired of engaging with his fans and asked them to keep quiet. Not paying much attention to his request, the man continued to speak which irked Tyson and he lost his cool eventually.&nbsp;

In the video, it can be seen that Tyson lost his composure, got up from his seat and turned behind to smack the&nbsp;fellow passenger leaving him badly bruised. Here's the clip of the shocking incident:

Another video from the flight also showed the aftermath of the incident, with the man sporting traces of blood on his forehead after being hit by Tyson.

'My boy just got beat up by Mike Tyson,' said the man recording the clip. 'Yeah, he got f***ed up. Just trying to ask for an autograph. I don't know what happened.' As per reports, the man reportedly told the police but it remains unclear if the legendary boxer will be investigated or not.

Boxing legend Mike Tyson is set to return to the ring for an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr on Saturday with the 54-year-old saying that he has learned to protect that "kid always in me".&nbsp;

The former world heavyweight champion is scheduled to fight for the first time in 15 years when he takes on four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

“Iron Mike”, while speaking to boxing promoter Eddie Hearn on his BBC podcast "No Passion, No Point", said he did not want to think about where he would be without boxing. The American, who was jailed in 1992 for rape, also paid a heartfelt tribute to his late trainer for giving him morale guidance.&nbsp;

"That kid is always in me," he said. "Now I know how to treat him, how to protect him. I wasn't protecting him when I was going to jail and all this crazy stuff.

"The best thing that can happen to any young man or woman is to have a diligent role model that cares about them.

"The feelings have to be mutual. Your objective has to be to make them happy -- to be the man they need you to be.

"Just think where I would be without boxing. I don't even want to think about where I would be without this beautiful sport."

Tyson dominated the heavyweight division from 1986 to 1990 but conceded that becoming youngest-ever world champion, at 20, came too early for him. He battled drugs and lost the fortune he made in the ring apart from his prison term.&nbsp;

"The best time of my life was probably right before I won the title," said Tyson. "When I won the title it got tricky. It wasn't the right time for me.

"I had too many emotional vampires around me."

However, both Tyson and Jones Jr have rejected criticism with many calling the bout, which will be staged over eight two-minute rounds, as “circus act”.

Tyson said he would have no resemblance to the boxer who was beaten by Kevin McBride in his last fight in 2005.

Jones’ last fight came in 2018 with a unanimous decision against Scott Sigmon.&nbsp;

Tyson predicted a full-blooded contest.

"I think Roy can handle getting slapped around a little bit," he said. "It's going to be really hot in that kitchen."

Tyson has dabbled in films since he retired from the ring and says he is in a good place now.

"I'm living responsibly, being present," he said. "That's what it's about for me now."
