After watching Mike Tyson on Oprah Winfrey I thought that the days of negative press was behind him. Well it would appear that I was wrong. I guess that the champ is still a big attention grabber for the media. According to anonymous sources the champ ended up going one round with a photographer at LAX International Airport. The sad part about this little situation is that it could land the champ back in jail if it is determined that this is a probation violation.
A Maricopa County, AZ, probation official, said that his office will start court proceedings to determine if Tyson may have violated his parole.
Both Tyson and Tony Echeverria both claim they were struck Wednesday during an altercation. The photographer was treated for a cut on his forehead, and was immediately released.
Both men were booked by airport police on suspicion of a misdemeanor battery and then released. The future of both men is up to the city attorney, to decide whether to file charges or not.
The former heavyweight champ is currently on probation after pleading guilty to cocaine possession and driving under the influence in Arizona two years ago. This is the charge that is dangling over the champs head at the moment.
I love the fact that our readers seem to be everywhere around the world. I first heard about this incident via a text message sent to me by one of our readers. The message noted that Tyson was extremely corporative with airport police, and after the police took the report they let Tyson continue his trip.
Tyson's spokeswoman Tammy Brook said the boxer was traveling with his wife and 10-month-old child when he was attacked by an overly aggressive paparazzi.
Mrs. Brooks went on to say that Mike was just acting in self defense as any father protecting his child would.
Echeverria's camera was booked as evidence and police also were checking if there was any surveillance video of the incident.
I understand that the paparazzi's are just doing there job, however my question is... At what point should it be considered crossing the line. I understand that they have freedom of speech and all of that but it seems some of them just take things to far.
