Mike Tyson is the type of person to beat a man down and party like nothing ever happened.
On Wednesday, the retired boxing heavyweight made headlines for punching a man in the face several times on a San Francisco airplane. Reps for the former heavyweight champion of the world from Brooklyn said Townsend wouldn’t stop hassling him and chucked a water bottle at him at one point.
“Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat,” representatives for Tyson said in a statement.
You would think that moment would’ve ruined Tyson’s day, but footage shows what he did right after that altercation.
Tyson made his way to his intended destination — Miami, Florida — for the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference. After the conference, video showed of the 55-year-old fighter smoking on stage at an after-party with rap superstar Rick Ross and retired wrestler Rick Flair.

The punch victim has since been identified as Melvin Townsend III, a man with an extensive criminal record, per TMZ Sports.
Townsend received medical attention for his injuries but did not press charges against Tyson.
