Shocking Sports News Headline O’ the Day: Mike Tyson Accused of Assaulting Cameraman

So apparently Iron Mike has been questioned by police in Sao Paulo, Brazil early Thursday after a television cameraman accused the former heavyweight champion of assaulting him outside a nightclub.

Carlos Eduardo da Silva, a cameraman with Brazilian television network SBT, has accused Tyson of pushing him, throwing his camera to the ground, then removing the videotape in it and putting it in his pocket.

Tyson had held a news conference earlier on Wednesday warning the Brazilian media to not approach him at night.

Yahoo! Sports summarized Tyson’s past brushes with trouble as follows:

“Tyson has served time for rape, bitten Evander Holyfield’s ear, tried to break another fighter’s arm and threatened to eat the children of former champion Lennox Lewis.”

That’s a damn nice epitaph there, Iron Mike. Nice work.
