| Quote: | LOS ANGELES -- A scuffle erupted between Mike Tyson and a freelance photographer at Los Angeles International Airport Wednesday, and both men were booked and released on suspicion of misdemeanor battery, police said.
The former heavyweight boxing champion and photographer Tony Echevarria, 50, both want to press charges of misdemeanor battery against each other, police said.
Echevarria told police that Tyson struck him once, airport police spokesman Sgt. Jim Holcomb said. The photographer fell to the ground and was treated for a cut to his forehead at a hospital.
Tyson's spokeswoman Tammy Brook said the boxer was passing through Los Angeles on his way from Europe to Las Vegas with his wife and 10-month-old child when he was attacked by an overly aggressive paparazzo. The 43-year-old acted in self-defense to protect his child, she said. |
Because of Tyson's violent history, this probably isn't good for him. But I really enjoy stories about the paparazzi being assaulted. They are one of the evils of this world. Good for Iron Mike.

Why in the world would someone pick a fight with a fighter ?! Just for a picture? Look up the chess champ instead.

You'd always have a cool story... if the punch doesn't kill you. I'd risk it to be able say that I took a punch from Iron Mike. But to say that it started because I was taking pictures of him is pretty lame.

It is pretty stupid to provoke someone like Mike Tyson! But even Gandhi hated the press!
