Mike Tyson was ordered by a judge Friday to return to Brazil in March to face trial for allegedly assaulting a cameraman in a nightclub.
Cameraman Carlos Eduardo da Silva, who works for the Brazilian television network SBT, contends Tyson broke his camera Thursday and hit him on the head with camera equipment. Tyson acknowledged breaking the camera and destroying the camera's tape after asking Silva to stop filming, but denied pushing or hitting the cameraman, police said.
Tyson came to Sao Paulo following a trip to Argentina, where he was interviewed by Diego Maradona on the soccer great's TV show. When Tyson arrived at the courthouse Friday wearing a gift from Maradona - the jersey of the Argentine national soccer team, the Brazilian crowd jeered, the Agencia Estado news agency said.

By far my favorite boxer of all-time. He might be a little crazy but he was the best in his prime. I even enjoy watching him get in trouble every now and then.

Yeah, the same hatred and anger that gets him in so much trouble is just what made him as good as he was. I still remember one of the first times I attempted to watch him fight. I was waiting all night for the fight to start and before it even started I left the room to make toast and when I got back the fight was over!
