Authorities in California have decided not to charge former heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, in connection with an incident that happened on a plane last month that appeared to show the boxer punching another airline passenger several times. District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe of San Mateo County, California, told CNN that he decided not to file misdemeanour battery charges against Tyson due to the circumstances involving the confrontation, including the conduct of the alleged victim, Melvin George Townsend III, prior to the incident. Also Read|California Democratic supremacy tested by crime, inflation,It is simply a case that does not belong in the criminal court, Wagstaffe said. If they want to sue each other, that's their business. TMZ Sports received a video of Tyson on a plane, bending over his seat and repeatedly punching what seemed to be another passenger in the row behind him. In a statement at the time, Tyson's representative stated that the retired boxer had an altercation with an aggressive passenger who began pestering him and hurled a water bottle at him. Also Read|California lays out plan to drastically cut fossil fuel use,The video released by TMZ does not depict the full encounter. The footage did not show a water bottle. Townsend has stated that he did not throw a water bottle at Tyson. Townsend's attorney previously stated that his client is a huge Mike Tyson fan, and that Tyson became agitated by an overly excited fan and began to strike him in a statement last month. This situation could have been avoided simply by contacting a flight attendant. Our client denies throwing a water bottle before being struck by Mr Tyson, Matt Morgan, an attorney, previously stated. Also Read|After meeting Michelle Obama, Lewis Hamilton weighs in on Roe v. Wade,According to Wagstaffe, both men engaged in the case agreed that no charges be brought.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Authorities were investigating Thursday after former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson was recorded on video punching a fellow passenger on board a plane at San Francisco International Airport. The video shows Tyson leaning over the back of his seat repeatedly striking the unidentified man in the head, drawing blood. The footage was first shared by TMZ, which said it was recorded on a Jet Blue plane bound for Florida. “Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat,” representatives for Tyson said in an email to The Associated Press. Prior to the physical altercation, the man is seen on the video standing over Tyson's seat, waving his arms and talking animatedly while the former boxer sits quietly. San Francisco police responded Wednesday around 10 p.m. to a “physical altercation” on a plane at the airport's domestic terminal, officials said.“Officers arrived and detained two subjects that were believed to be involved in the incident. One subject was treated at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries. That subject provided minimal details of the incident and refused to cooperate further with the police investigation,” police said in a statement Thursday. Both were released pending further investigation, the statement said. San Francisco police said the video has been shared with the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office, which has jurisdiction over the airport. Sheriff's officials said “we are not releasing information on the incident because it is an active investigation.”JetBlue didn't immediately respond to an email seeking additional details. Since Tyson, 55, retired from boxing, he has worked as an actor, podcaster and cannabis entrepreneur. He became the youngest heavyweight champion in history in 1987 at age 20. During his career he had 50 wins, 44 of them by knockout.In the 1990s Tyson served three years in prison after being convicted of rape. He has maintained his innocence in that case.

CHEROKEE VILLAGE, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas man who is challenging U.S. Rep. Rick Crawford in the Republican primary this spring suffered a broken back and other injuries when he crashed his single-engine airplane last week.Jody Shackelford told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that he was trying to land his Bellanca 17-30A when he crashed Friday at the Sharp County Regional Airport, about 115 miles (185 kilometers) north of Little Rock. He said his plane’s engine sputtered and died before the crash and that he tried to land in a clearing of trees.“What I didn’t realize was that there was this wire fence between me and the tree line,” he said. “So I smacked into that and, believe it or not, I think it acted like a net and absorbed some of the energy.“A big rush of stuff hit me in my face,” he said. “I felt like I got punched by Mike Tyson.”Shackelford, who said he's been a pilot for two years, suffered a broken back, ribs, hand and nose. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash. Shackelford and state Rep. Brandt Smith are challenging Crawford for the Republican nomination for the 1st Congressional District in eastern Arkansas. The primary is May 24. Shackelford said he'll remain in the race even though the injuries might slow his campaign activity. He wrote on Facebook: “In my run for office, I’m still in the game. I told my wife that I might have dropped out of the sky but I’m not dropping out of this race.”

Parimatch Exchange is a new tool to engage in online betting to make it more versatile, profitable, and fun New Delhi, Delhi, India (NewsVoir) Parimatch announces the launch of the betting Exchange, an online platform widely popular as a new type of betting in i-gaming. Users get more ways to bet and win accordingly, thanks to the huge variety of bets on the new markets. Bets’ acceptance speed and other features are impressive. PMI, a service company engaged in the development and implementation of the expansion strategy for Parimatch, announced the new initiation and is all set to witness the ascent of the gaming sector in the country. Parimatch Exchange is a unique platform offering a mix of traditional and general betting. It enhances betting effectiveness and efficiency in a number of ways. One can choose a bet from the list to bet against another person. There is a particularly attractive feature that one can lay a bet and offer one’s own higher coefficient, but it must be backed and matched by another player. Users get high rates and more transparency in the number of people and the sum of the bet, in displaying the sums laid on the event, and the turnover is always visible. Exchange makes it possible for clients to make higher bets if there is another person willing to bet. Due to the combination of classical and online betting, the Parimatch Exchange platform is more attractive and efficient for betting as Layers and Backers have their bets matched faster by matching both sides. Bettors have improved opportunities and valuable experience using the Parimatch Exchange. Also, it lets clients bet against each other (if the event happens or not) once they agree on the sum of the bet. The main principle of its work is based on that of the stock exchange. Customers bet odds on various sports events worldwide (games, tournaments, etc.). What are the advantages of Parimatch Exchange? More efficient betting because users can offer higher coefficients and higher bets if the bet is backed/supported. Fancy is represented by very attractive options for betting. It is a market odd, it's a betting exchange where the betor needs to find a person to back the bet, it’s about bet-bet playing. Another way of fancy consists in the possibility of laying a bet for the team/player winning or losing in a particular kind of sport. This betting is only about the “yes/no” option. This option doesn’t allow establishing betor’s own coefficient and has some restrictions. Market odd lets people bet… More attractive betting Layers and Backers will have their bets matched much easier and faster. Small payment rates means that only winning bets pay a very small fee, so margin isn’t incorporated into the price anymore. Responsible gambling for everyone The company takes care of its users and makes gambling responsible for everyone. It helps to manage the amount of money that is spent. A budget calculator is a special tool created to keep track of all financial activities and to calculate and manage a person's financial situation confidentially (transaction history, monthly spending on gambling, etc.). How do users benefit from the new Exchange? Parimatch grants its clients safe and risk-free online betting on its platform. Thus, the betting is confidential as clients don’t know their real names. It is done to ensure our players safety and security, so that they feel protected. Exchange enables In-play betting as it is a place where one can bet while the events are taking place, even after the beginning of the event. Users have better chances with this reliable betting Exchange in terms of transparency, odds, and catchy experience. Better choices are definitely associated with more players and better chances to win. The tool ensures clients’ flexibility as it makes bet matching, trading, making a profit, and getting money back easier. Powered by Parimatch, this tool offers new features and enhances betting. It has changed global gambling dramatically while rendering reliable services and responsible attitudes. An enormous number of bets on the Exchange contribute to establishing fair prices as market pricing is defined by many people. The Exchange helps bettors and like-minded people feel comfortable and unlimited with betting in the user-friendly environment and gives more chances to win.

That is God. Tyson was placed under the supervision of boxing trainer Cus D'Amato when his mother died, and he became his legal guardian.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Among the stars, Drake still shined the brightest. In an all-white outfit, the multi-Grammy winner had many concertgoers jostling for position to watch him perform at the Super Bowl-week party dubbed “Homecoming Weekend” on Saturday night. He made a dramatic entrance, darting down an aisle before performing center stage under an airy tent at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, California.The crowd included several entertainers and athletes such as Issa Rae, a mask-wearing Mike Tyson, Lil Wayne, Paul Pierce, Derrick Henry, Ricky Gervais, John Hamm, Nicole Scherzinger, Cedric the Entertainer, Karrueche Tran and Flava Flav. While waiting for Drake, attendees mingled for a couple hours. But once he arrived, many flocked toward the stage and pulled out their phones to capture the majority of his 45-minute set. Drake told the crowd that he was initially asked to perform around five songs, but he extended his song list by triple the amount. The rapper said he felt compelled to perform for a longer stint because of where he traveled from.“They flew me out of like three feet of snow for this, so I got to perform for you,” said Drake, who went on to perform several bangers including “No Friends in the Industry” and “Girls Want Girls” from his recent album “Certified Lover Boy.” The rap star talked about being able to perform in person and showed appreciation to everyone in attendance. “I’m sure at one point we’re all sitting at home – maybe a little depressed, maybe a little frustrated, maybe a little confused,” he said. “I want to make a toast to how grateful I am for being in this (expletive) room with each and every one of you. I wasn’t sure how and when we would be able to do this again. But cheers to each and everyone of you. More life.” Drake went on to perform his other hits including “Controlla,” “God’s Plan,” “Too Much” and “Passionfruit.” He surprised the crowd with a guest appearance by Future, who performed “Way 2 Sexy” with Drake before his uber-popular “March Madness.” At the end, Drake paid homage to Lil Wayne – who watched from section – before closing out his set by playing “I Will Always Love You,” a Dolly Parton song that Whitney Houston made famous. He along with many in the crowd sang every word of the classic melody. Proof of vaccination was required of the 1,500 guests. Only a few wore masks including Tyson. The “Homecoming Weekend” show helped cap a full week of entertainment events leading up to Sunday’s Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, the first in the Los Angeles area in nearly three decades, with the hometown Rams facing off against the Cincinnati Bengals. Justin Bieber sang and danced on the first night of the event, presented by The h.wood Group, REVOLVE, PLACES.CO and Uncommon Entertainment. Staffers were dressed in football uniforms, making the rounds with fancified versions of stadium food, including plant-based chicken bites, garlic fries and tiny pizzas.Miley Cyrus and Green Day were playing a set across town at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Sticker Books will serve as a thematic collection of stickers (pictures) received for certain actions in the system and shall be stored on a separate page of the client's profile in the form of album/ book icons. Under each such hiccup they will witness a progress bar that displays the completeness of filling the album with stickers. A fully filled album will be highlighted with a frame and the progress bar will change to a green checkmark representing Done.

Above each page of the album, the clients will observe a progress bar and the reward that they will receive when they paste all the stickers on the page and all stickers in the album. Collecting stickers for this book will be as simple as the client receiving one random sticker for each bet that meets the pre-set conditions such as the amount of the bet, the final odds of the bet, sport, tournament, the team, market, type of bet, and other conditions of seasonal events and PvP tournaments in the following versions.

Parimatch Announces a Major Partnership with Trinbago Knight Riders

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Parimatch, a leading betting holding and entertainment brand, is proud to announce the release of cricket legend Dale Steyn's first video collaboration with the company. Mr. Steyn and Parimatch have signed a partnership agreement this March for 18 months of close cooperation as a brand ambassador. This video represents Steyn's strong will to win in promoting the Parimatch brand, showcasing the company's fighting spirit on the same field with Juventus, UFC, Conor McGregor, Mike Tyson and others. In his first video, cricket's highest league star Dale Steyn displayed the energy that comes along with the Parimatch motto, Fired Up to Win. Over the course of a single shooting day, the Steyn Gun demonstrated his speed and irresistible will to win through six hours of non-stop shooting. The video, produced by Joshua Borill – known for his work with Coca-Cola, Mercedes, and Heineken – took two production teams observing all needed quarantine norms to complete. Dale, a world class star, radiated positive vibes throughout the production and worked closely with film crew to light the fire of encouragement for sports enthusiasts around the world. The shoot ultimately wrapped up the only way it could have, with one of cricket's biggest names as the star: absolute jaffa.
