Mike Tyson, Who Bashed Jetblue Passenger, Finally Reveals Why He Does Not Fly in Private Planes

It goes without saying that a global icon like Mike Tyson would have millions of cash stashed away in bank accounts. The fighter amassed huge amounts thanks to his illustrious boxing career, which made it possible for him to afford practically every luxury available. Despite being a multi-millionaire, the retired boxer stays away from flying in private planes.

In the recent episode of the podcast Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, the boxer’s therapist Sean McFarland was invited as a guest. As the conversation progressed, Tyson revealed why he avoids private planes. He stated, “When I’m on that private plane, that’s all I think about is cocaine and prostitutes, that’s my trigger. That’s why I don’t fly private. I fly commercial because that’s a real bad trigger for me.”

He further added, “Private planes are out of my fu**ing league. Anything that could allow me to be the boss of anything is out of my league.”
