Tyson Sued with $25 Million Lawsuit by Paparazzo

A paparazzo photographer filed a lawsuit worth $25 million against Mike Tayson for a ruckus that happened at LAX airport a year ago on November 11, 2009. Antonia Echevarria has formally submitted the lawsuit at the Los Angeles Superior Court saying that he has suffered from a couple of injuries inflicted by the boxer.
According to him, Tyson also threatened him by saying that he will kill him. The paparazzi photographer stated that the boxer went after him at the airport, giving him injuries on the spine, neck, face, and a brain concussion.
During that time Tyson was on a trip to Las Vegas and was with his wife, assistant, mother-in-law, and 10-month-old daughter. After the fight between the two, both Echeverria and Tyson have filed for a citizen’s arrest on each other in account of misdemeanor battery.
The story, however, was different according to Tyson’s side. Shawn Chapman Holley, Tyson’s ex-attorney said that Echeverria was the one who provoked Tyson by aggressively following him and his family. The airport personnel tried to stop the paparazzo but Echeverria refused to follow the directives and even hit the baby’s stroller at one point.
As for Tyson, the boxer was pretty confident that the case will be properly handled given the number of witnesses they have.
