In an article published by the LA Times , the American daily reveals having consulted a letter written by the lawyer of Melvin Towsend III , the individual struck by Mike Tyson on the plane. In it, the lawyer reports that his client suffered ” head and neck pain, loss of consciousness, concussion and contusion to the head ” as a result punches from Iron Mike.
In the rest of the letter, Melvin Towsend’s lawyer demands $450,000 from Mike Tyson in medical compensation . ” In exchange for this amount, Mr. Townsend will provide your client with a mutually acceptable release that will prevent your client from pursuing future legal action , as well as reasonable terms requested by your client. If we cannot reach an agreement, We will continue to prepare Mr. Townsend’s case for filing a complaint .”

Mike Tyson’s lawyer responds
This request was also forwarded to Mike Tyson’s lawyers . In comments still reported by the LA Times , one of them, Alex Spiro, replied: ” I received an extortion letter concerning the harassment carried out against Mike by an instigator a year ago and the consequences. There will be no amicable agreement .”
An answer which has the merit of being clear. For his part, Mike Tyson did not speak personally on the subject. But in an episode of his podcast Hotboxin a few weeks after the incident, he notably said: ” I shouldn’t have done it. But I was just irritated, tired, high and angry. That’s how it is happens.”
