The Man Mike Tyson Beat Up on a Plane Is Now Demanding a Small Fortune
The man who Mike Tyson beat up on a JetBlue flight in an April 2022 incident is demanding $450,000 in what the boxer calls a "shakedown" attempt. And from the sound of it, Tyson is in no way willing to pay up.
A lawyer for Melvin Townsend, the man who Tyson pummeled, sent Tyson's legal team a pre-litigation settlement demand for "injuries and damages" that Townsend allegedly sustained as a result of the beating. The incident occurred on a flight from San Francisco, when Townsend—who allegedly was visibly intoxicated at the time—repeatedly harassed and annoyed the 57-year-old boxer, and even threw a water bottle at him at one point.
