THROWING PUNCHESTwo passengers went toe-to-toe on a mid-air flight, with one pummeling the other as the crew finally stepped in to break up the confrontation.
The violence erupted Monday on a Southwest commercial jet heading from Oakland to Hawaii. As soon as the fists started flying the camera started rolling.
StoryfulCheck out this video posted by a witness to Instagram … both men were arguing over some nonsense when one of them turned into Floyd Mayweather, connecting with a series of punches to the other dude’s face.
StoryfulFellow passengers and flight attendants quickly jumped in, pulling the two guys apart. When the plane landed on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, the troublemakers were detained by local authorities, but it was unclear if they were arrested or charged. As for any injuries, the guy whose head was used as a punching bag looked okay ... or seemed so anyway.

Brad Pitt y Angelina Jolie Su divorcio podría estar terminando Dan un paso importante
2/9/2024 11:14 AM PT
Getty CompositeEl contencioso divorcio entre Brad Pitt y Angelina Jolie podría estar cerca de terminar, con cada una de las estrellas realizando uno de los últimos pasos para alcanzar un acuerdo.
De acuerdo con documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, tanto Pitt como Jolie le están entregando sus declaraciones financieras finales a la otra parte, que es digno de mencionar teniendo en cuenta que no ha habido mucho movimiento en su caso de divorcio por lo menos en un par de años.
GettyLos términos finales de cualquier acuerdo de divorcio aún no se han presentado, pero los archivos del jueves indican que uno de los matrimonios y divorcios más legendarios y enconados en la historia reciente de Hollywood finalmente está llegando a su fin.
Cada vez que las partes en disputa presentan sus documentos financieros significa que el final está cerca.
Gallery Brad y Angelina antes de la ruptura Launch Gallery GettyRecuerden, Brad y Angelina se conocieron por primera vez en el set de "Sr. y la Sra. Smith" en 2004, cuando Brad todavía estaba casado con Jennifer Aniston. La pareja en pantalla se mantuvo como amigos durante todo el rodaje, aunque Brad se separó de Jennifer más o menos un año después.
Gallery Fotos familiares de Brad y Angelina Launch Gallery GettyBrad y Angelina rápidamente se involucraron después de que se anunciara su separación y construyeron una gran familia durante los siguientes años, con seis hijos en su prole.
Brangelina se comprometió en 2012 y se casó en 2014, pero Angelina pidió el divorcio solo dos años más tarde, en 2016, citando diferencias irreconciliables.
BackgridEse mismo año, Pitt fue acusado de abusar físicamente de al menos uno de sus hijos, a pesar de que fue absuelto por las autoridades después de una investigación y negó las afirmaciones.
Los procedimientos de divorcio continuaron alargándose mucho después de eso y un juez finalmente dictaminó que Brad y Angelina eran legalmente solteros en 2019. Otros elementos del divorcio han estado ocurriendo detrás de cámaras desde entonces y ahora, en 2024, por fin se están acercando a la línea de meta.
Gallery Las mayores rupturas de Hollywood Launch Gallery GettyLos asuntos se han vuelto más complicados entre Brand y Angie. Recuerden que en 2021, Angelina vendió su parte de una bodega que poseía con Pitt a un oligarca ruso, un movimiento que eventualmente llevó al actor a demandarla por supuestamente no obtener su firma antes de vender. Esa demanda sigue en curso y va por un carril separado al divorcio.

"AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE"WHEN's unclear, but put the IF question to bed ... 'cause Tyson Fury ain't quitting boxing, and absolutely, positively says he will return to the ring!
The legendary pugilist even laid out a tentative 5 fight blueprint ... and it's got some of the biggest names in the sport.
“I keep hearing talk of people saying that I should retire or that I’m going to retire soon or whatever. I ain’t retiring anywhere!" Fury, directly addressing the camera, told his social media followers.
Queensbury PromotionsOf course, 35-year-old Tyson was set to fight Oleksandr Usyk later this month, but was forced to pull out of the title fight after sustaining a wicked cut over his eye during a sparring sesh.
Given all he's accomplished, and with many fans commenting The Gypsy King didn't look like his dominant self against Francis Ngannou last year, some speculated he'd hang up his gloves.
GettyBut, not happening.
In fact, Fury has even laid out a road map for himself ... picking his next three opponents.
“I got two fights with Usyk, for the undisputed, twice. Then I’m going to fight [Anthony Joshua] at least once, maybe twice, if there’s a rematch, if he wants one after the first battering I’m going to give him.”
Tyson continued, announcing another major rematch is in the cards.
“Then I’m going to fight Ngannou again and that’s just the start, so that’s five little fights to wet your appetites with. I ain’t going nowhere, nowhere, 35-year-old prime of my life and I’m ready to smash on.”
That'll be music to Francis' ears. The former UFC champ recently told us he wasn't interested in fighting the winner of Fury-Usyk ... no, he just wants a rematch with Tyson!

BLESSEDKayla Harrison's opening up on all things UFC ... from her practice runs making 135 lbs. in the lead-up to her huge scrap with Holly Holm to whether she still has an interest in meeting Amanda Nunes in an Octagon!
33-year-old Harrison chopped it up with TMZ Sports ... weeks after she rocked the MMA world, moving from PFL to Dana White's promotion.
The 2x Olympic gold medalist and 2x PFL champion will fight 42-year-old Holm on the stacked UFC 300 card on April 13. We asked Kayla about signing with the UFC, and her thoughts on her legendary opponent.
Getty"It's been amazing. Honestly, my life is so good. I really do feel like everything is happening at the right time and the right place with the right people," Harrison said.
"To be going to the Olympics of MMA on UFC 300 against Holly Holm, a legend in the sport. I'm so excited, I'm so amped. This is the s**t that gets me going, and yeah, I'm ready!"
GettyWhen UFC 300 rolls around, it won't be happening at 145 or 155 lbs. ... no, Harrison is fighting at bantamweight. We asked her if she fears being able to make the weight.
"Listen there's this giant misconception about my weight, and I think people think I walk around at like 180 lbs. or something. The reality is I was fighting at 155 lbs. and I was walking into the cage at maybe 160 lbs. I don't get much bigger than 160."
Kayla continued ... "I was always the smaller fighter and usually the less experienced fighter. I don't believe in weight cutting, but now I'm going to do what everybody does and I'm gonna be in the cage and I'm gonna be the bigger, faster, stronger and more experienced fighter."
"Is it gonna suck? Yeah. I'm not gonna enjoy dieting, but it's a chosen sacrifice."
Harrison has long said she wants to be the G.O.A.T. ... a title Amanda Nunes currently lays claim to. We asked KH if she still has visions of fighting Nunes in the future.
"Listen, Amanda is the greatest of all time. That's a fact. So, of course, I would love for that to happen," Kayla told us.
Getty"I've always said that, and not out of a place of disrespect. To me thats the highest compliment I could give her. you're the best, I want to find out what I'm made of with you.t a lot to prove. I've got a lot to do. I've got my work boots on. I'm in the gym, I'm hungry, I'm staying humble, but of course!"
"I've always said that, and not out of a place of disrespect. To me thats the highest compliment I could give her. you're the best, I want to find out what I'm made of with you."
The Lioness is still technically retired ... though it sounds like she could be gearing up for a comeback.
Retired or not, first things first ... Holly Holm, and Kayla has her hands full.

Tyson Fury Out Of Usyk Fight ... After Suffering Gnarly Cut In Training
2/2/2024 10:39 AM PT
Queenberry PromotionsFebruary's highly anticipated heavyweight clash between champions Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is OFF ... after The Gypsy King suffered a deep cut above his eye, forcing him to pull out of the fight.
"I am absolutely devastated after preparing for this fight for so long and being in such superb condition. I feel bad for everyone involved in this huge event and I will work diligently towards the rescheduled date once the eye has healed," Fury said.
Tyson continued, even saying sorry to Oleksandr and his people.
"I can only apologize to everyone affected including my own team, Team Usyk, the undercard fighters, partners, and fans as well as our hosts and my friends in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."
It's especially a bummer for Fury 'cause he'd been training so hard for the fight ... and had his body looking better than it has in years. In fact, he's noticeably leaner now than when he fought Francis Ngannou in October 2023.
If you're a boxing fan, there's a good chance you were pumped for the upcoming bout, originally scheduled to go down on February 17 in Saudi Arabia ... until this morning's sparring sesh.
The deep cut is very close to where Fury was split open while fighting Otto Wallin in 2019 ... nearly forcing that fight to be stopped. It's unclear if that played a part in today's cut ... as scar tissue can make a fighter more apt to sustaining cuts.
GettyA rep for Fury said the eye required immediate medical attention, including stitches, to close up the wound.
It's unclear how long Tyson will need to heal up ... but several reports indicate Usyk may not want to wait, and will instead seek out another opponent to step in on short notice.
Here's hoping the two champions fight sometime, somewhere ... even if we now have to wait just a bit longer.

GettyShakur Stevenson just made a shocking announcement -- he says he's retiring from boxing -- but almost all of his fans aren't buying it.
The undefeated lightweight said on his social media page Monday night that he's hanging up his gloves after seven years ... opting to focus on becoming a mentor for aspiring boxers instead.
"I’m officially retiring from the sport of boxing," Stevenson wrote on his X page.
"I’ll be in the gym forever perfecting my craft and helping the next generation become great and chase they dreams but I ain’t fw this weak boxing game."
GettyOf course, many of his fans are callin' BS ... as Stevenson -- who's 21-0 -- is just 26 years old and is currently the WBO featherweight title holder.
Most believe Stevenson is simply frustrated that Emanuel Navarrete, a boxer he wants to fight, was ordered to box Denys Berinchyk in a WBO 135-lb title match.
Another fight Stevenson also wanted was Vasily Lomachenko ... but he's facing George Kambosos Jr. in May.
Stevenson, of course, wouldn't be the first star pugilist to "retire" before "unretiring" ... Teofimo Lopez just did it last year.
Tyson Fury has retired multiple times as well, though he's still fighting. In fact, his next bout is next month against Oleksandr Usyk.

Jake (8-1) has been teasing his next opponent ever since he handled Andre August with a first-round knockout in December ... and has made it clear his goal is to become a world champion.
The Problem Child said in a statement the decision to go up against the 35-year-old Bourland (17-2) keeps him on the right path toward legitimacy -- and he's been training non-stop for his next opportunity.
Gallery Jake Paul Fight Photos Launch Gallery Getty"I've always said my goal is to become a world champion," Paul said of the fight. "I beat a pro boxer in December in the first round, someone who's been boxing their entire life, and what did I do next? I went straight back to camp to get ready to face my next opponent, a professional boxer who has twice as many professional fights under his belt than I do."
"It's a new year, it's an even better me, and I'm facing an even more experienced, seasoned boxer on Saturday, March 2 as co-main to the Puerto Rican GOAT, Amanda Serrano."
Bourland is on a three-fight winning streak ... but has not seen any action since 2022.
Jake added he's doing all this for the love of the sport -- NOT the fat paycheck that would come with it -- as he's going to donate his purse to his Boxing Bullies charity, which will help renovate gyms in Puerto Rico.
It may not be a big name like Tommy Fury, Anderson Silva or Nate Diaz ... but it's clear Jake's only focus is being a better boxer.
