JAKARTA - Mike Tyson has done many wild things throughout his life. However, his story this time was one of the craziest.

As quoted from Marca, Wednesday, it was 2005 and Tyson got into serious trouble for punching a local news cameraman during his visit to Brazil.

It happened when Tyson came out of a nightclub in the city of Sao Paulo, this cameraman followed him all night. Tyson didn't like it and he allegedly snapped at the reporter harshly.

Tyson denied he hurt the man but he destroyed his entire camera equipment. The reporter's name is Carlos Da Silva Melo and he reported the incident to the authorities.

What Tyson did after that would be considered the most Tyson thing he ever did.

That same night, Da Silva Melo called the police and they arrested Tyson at the next club he visited. They asked for the Concrete Neck's statement and asked him to come to court the next day to pay compensation.

While before the judge, Tyson made a ridiculous act by wearing the Argentina jersey number 10 which Diego Maradona had given him in the television program 'La Noche del 10' some time earlier.

Those who know about the rivalry between these two countries know that Tyson's provocation sparked outrage across the country. Truly a legend!
