		</div><p>Authorities will not file criminal charges against former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson after he was recorded on video punching a fellow passenger on a plane at San Francisco International Airport last month, prosecutors announced.</p>
<p>The San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office said it has closed the case.</p>
<p>The victim and Tyson both requested that charges not be filed, District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe said in a statement.</p>
<p>The video shows Tyson leaning over the back of his seat repeatedly striking the unidentified man in the head, drawing blood.</p>
<p>The footage was first shared by TMZ, which said it was recorded on a Jet Blue plane bound for Florida.</p>
<p>Prior to the physical altercation, the other passenger was seen on the video standing over Tyson’s seat – waving his arms and talking animatedly while the former boxer sits quietly.</p>
<p>Representatives for Tyson previously said the boxer was on a flight with “an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat”.</p>
<p>Attorneys for Tyson praised the district attorney’s decision in a statement on Tuesday, thanking law enforcement for their “careful, diligent and professional work”.</p>
<p>Since Tyson retired from boxing, he has worked as an actor, podcaster and cannabis entrepreneur.</p>
<p>He was in San Francisco in April for the annual 420 cannabis festival in Golden Gate Park, where he was promoting his cannabis brand Tyson 2.0, SFGate reported.</p>
<p>Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history in 1987 at age 20. During his career he had 50 wins, 44 of them by knockout.</p>
<p>In the 1990s, Tyson served three years in prison after being convicted of rape. He has maintained his innocence in that case.</p>
<p>Tyson was briefly barred from boxing after infamously biting off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear during a fight in 1997.</p>
