You probably remember a few weeks ago that a video of Mike Tyson punching some guy on a plane did the rounds and went viral, but Mike himself has remained fairly tight lipped on the subject in the aftermath.

Mike did decide to break his silence on the matter this week though, discussing what went down with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on a recent episode of ‘All The Smoke’. Here’s what he had t0 say (skip to 20 minutes if you want to hear it on the video):
They said I ain’t gonna pick up charges! He was f—king with me, man. I took pictures with this n—a.
I shouldn’t even be taking public planes. My wife gets mad that I take public planes but what am I gonna do on the f—king plane with my friends, and what, a bodyguard and a f—king yes man?
What am I gonna do on a [private] plane? It triggers me.
Wow. Let it all out Mike hey. Seems like he was happy to drop as many F bombs as he wanted there, but didn’t actually say much about what actually happened with the guy other than that he was ‘fucking with him’.
Real sweet insight there Mike – I think most of us could have probably seen that before just from watching the video. Hopefully he talks about it in detail in the future because I would really like to know what someone could say to make Mike Tyson snap like that. Let us know man.
For more of the same, check out when Mike Tyson stopped a crazy gunman at a comedy club earlier this year by hugging him. That’s arguably even weirder than him beating someone up on a plane.
