Back in the old era, Mike Tyson was unquestionably one of the scariest pugilists. He was known for putting extraordinary performances in the ring and often the boxing fraternity knew what he brought to the table. Also, Tyson’s behavior outside the ring remained unexpected for a long time.
Although today he ranks among the most humble and patient stars, such wasn’t the case when Tyson was at his boxing peak.
While he was young and couldn’t control his anger, Tyson once beat a photographer at an airport. Mike Tyson always liked enjoying his privacy. As a result, he never liked anyone invading his personal space.

In the above video, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ can be seen walking into a passage with a couple of security guards. All of a sudden, Tyson saw someone approaching them from behind. He turned back to see a photographer who shot this video.
The moment Mike Tyson saw him, he was left fuming. Consequently, he and the security guards first warned the photographer to not follow them. Out of the blue, Tyson started walking at a fast pace towards the paparazzi, and the latter turned his back to save himself from Tyson’s assault.
In just a few seconds, Tyson caught him and the video didn’t showcase what exactly happened later. ‘Iron’ Mike was left outraged and no one would ever wish to face the wrath of the former heavyweight king.
