UPDATE 7:28 AM PT -- Sources close to Mike claim the man was extremely intoxicated ... and wouldn't stop provoking the boxer in his seat.

Mike Tyson seemed to lose his cool on a plane on Wednesday night ... repeatedly punching a man in the face after the guy had apparently annoyed him.

TMZ Sports has learned ... the incident all went down at around 10:30 PM PT as Tyson was slated to fly out of San Francisco International Airport to Florida.

A witness on the plane says as he and his friend were boarding Tyson's flight ... the boxing legend was initially cool with them and the other passengers.

1. Who would have thought such a peaceful man would do such a thing?

[a kennedy]

2. Well that's just great.......lock him up. What the hell has happened to us as people??

No tolerance, no patience, no humanity. I think these last two, hell, 6 years have just put us on our worst behavior as humans. I’m so ashamed…….. It’s just gotten so bad.

[Captain Zero]

5. I think it's on the idiot who would aggravate Tyson

What a FUCKING IDIOT.
FUCKED AROUND AND FOUND OUT.

REALLY. A celebrity on your plane and you can't ignore them? Can't be civil toward them?

[Johnny2X2X]

10. Bull

We don’t know the full story, but Mike Tyson is a full grown man, it’s his duty to keep control of himself. There’s no excuse to assault someone on a plane. I hope Tyson is arrested and then sued.

11. You can't beat up someone you find annoying.

I am just saying.

27. I Tell Myself This

30. Lantern, fix your quote!!

[obamanut2012]

22. Wrong

[Demsrule86]

26. If an idiot says shit, you still can't beat the crap out of him...so no Tyson needs to face whatever

consequences there are. I heard many here that Will Smith was a fault...it really is no different.

[Walleye]

3. That's assault with a deadly weapon

[gab13by13]

9. Yes it is,

Tyson is in a world of hurt, if prosecuted.

[RockRaven]

4. Charge them both. Drunken harassment on airplanes shouldn't be tolerated any more than

punching people.

[MustLoveBeagles]

17. +1

[Whiskeytide]

6. Check the guy's ears. Just saying. n/t

[LisaL]

12. He still has them.

[Whiskeytide]

14. That's good. Can't be too careful when you tangle with a biter. n/t

7. Provoking Tyson is like jumping into a tiger cage

There is only one outcome.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

8. Put this asshole on the no fly list

[Hoyt]

13. The guy started it, much more than "annoyed him."

[dalton99a]

18. +1. Stupid punk

[Silent3]

23. Tyson shouldn't have done it, but...

...if that isn't a Backpfeifengesicht, I haven't seen one before.

[nilram]

24. I couldn't watch more than three seconds of the video

What a jerk.

[Quixote1818]

15. I don't condone violence but I can see why Tyson got upset with the harassment. nt

[Torchlight]

16. I wish he hadn't taken the drunk's bait

Seems a lotta people talk crap these days just to provoke someone else, and when they're drunk it becomes even more noxious.

I've found it's usually best to just respond: "sound serious, good luck!" as it gives the less-than-well-meaning the impression they've scored the point they're so desperately searching for, and life goes on within us and without us.

19. I met Tyson at a Stevie Wonder concert about 15 years ago

He was actually really nice. But then I just said hi and then left him alone afterwards. He also seemed heavily medicated.

[obamanut2012]

21. Ear biting rapist wife beater says what?

[yonder]

25. To paraphrase a Mike Tyson quote:

"It's all fun and games till you get punched in the face".

[LiberatedUSA]

29. His training has the potential to make this serious. N/t

[Dr. Strange]

31. What did you do today?

Oh, a little flying, a little fucking around, a little finding out.
