Boxing legend Mike Tyson should not have actually entered the ring with a fellow aircraft traveler, states the supposed victim’s legal group.
Lawyers representing the male who was apparently typed the face by Tyson on a current JetBlue flight are sharing their customer’s variation of the story.
In a declaration acquired by NBC, lawyer Matt Morgan of Morgan & & Morgan explained his customer, Melvin George Townsend III, as a “big Mike Tyson fan” who “became overly excited” upon seeing the heavyweight boxing champ on an April 20 flight from San Francisco.
“At first their interaction was cordial,” Morgan kept in mind. “At a certain point, Mr. Tyson became agitated by an overly excited fan and began to strike him.”
“This situation could have been avoided simply by contacting a flight attendant,” Morgan continued. “To state the obvious, as one of the greatest fighters of all time, Mr. Tyson should have known not to use his hands on an overly excited fan.”
