Video: Mike Tyson hits fan with two elbows at Mayweather v Pacquiao weigh-ins

Brave, brave fan

Wrap your arms around Mike Tyson at your own peril.

The former heavyweight champion of the world had a bit of a confrontation with a “handsy” fan at the Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao weigh-ins on Friday.

The man, who donned a pink shirt placed his arm around Iron Mike in an attempt to get an unsolicited selfie with the legendary pugilist. Unsurprisingly, Tyson was not enthralled after having his personal space invaded against his will and lashed out at the spectator.

Tyson fired a warning shot with a light elbow, and swiftly followed it up with a more powerful elbow to the sternum.

He was just lucky it wasn’t one of his patented left hooks.
