Famous YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul took to Twitter to stand by Mike Tyson after the latter reportedly punched a first-class cabin enger in a Jet Blue flight on Wednesday.

Following the incident, Tyson had to be removed from the airplane before the flight making it off the ground to San Francisco.

"If you're being heckled in public like Mike Tyson was you should legally get a hall to beat someone's ass," wrote Paul.

"This generation thinks they can get away with anything."

As reported by TMZ, Tyson's representatives confirmed that the incident involved a enger who harassed the former boxer.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive enger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat," they said.

San Francisco PD told TMZ that the two men were released after being detained for participating in a fight, with one of the two individuals being treated due to minor injuries.
