Mike Tyson faces pre-litigation settlement demand of $450k

Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight boxing champion, is facing a pre-litigation settlement demand of $450k from a man named Melvin Townsend who he punched on a JetBlue flight from San Francisco to Florida in April last year. The lawyer of Melvin Townsend is seeking a settlement for “injuries and damages,” which the lawyer of Mike Tyson blasted as a “shakedown.”
