- Story Text: A surveillance tape has been released, showing the former boxing champion Mike Tyson in yet another a brawl.
It's the latest round in Mike Tyson's legal
troubles. Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has
pleaded not guilty in a brawl last month at the Marriott
Hotel in Brooklyn. Tyson says he was provoked in the
attack.
Now, the brawl -- caught by a security camera -- is
made public.
Two men and the former heavyweight champion got into an
argument on June 21, allegedly over an autograph request.
Prosecutors say the man dressed in all black is former
heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, at the top of the screen
dressed in white 31 year old Samuel Velez.
Prosecutors allege that Velez threatened and harassed
the boxer for an autograph moments earlier, but Velez's
attorney says, the tape itself clearly shows who is the
aggressor.
