BAREKNUCKLE BOXER DIES AFTER RESTRAINT ON JET2 FLIGHT

THU 25 JUN 2026

A bareknuckle boxer died following an incident on a Jet2 flight from Cyprus to Manchester on Sunday night, according to reports. The passenger became disruptive on board the aircraft. Jet2 aircrew and other passengers restrained him during the incident. He subsequently became critically ill. The man's death followed the restraint.

The flight was travelling from Cyprus to Manchester when the disturbance occurred. Jet2 is a British airline operating scheduled services across Europe and the Mediterranean. The specific circumstances that led to the passenger's disruptive behaviour have not been detailed in available reports. The restraint was carried out by both airline staff and fellow passengers on the aircraft.

The incident raises questions about passenger conduct on commercial flights and the procedures airlines follow when managing disruptive travellers. Jet2 has not yet issued a public statement regarding the death or the circumstances surrounding the restraint. The airline's response to the incident and any investigation into the passenger's death remain unclear. Further details about what occurred during the flight are expected to emerge as the investigation develops.
