(People.com) — It may come down to a tale of the videotape.

A publicist for Mike Tyson said the former boxing champ was merely defending his wife and 10-month-old child after an altercation with an overaggressive photographer at LAX on Wednesday.

“Mike acted in self-defense as a father protecting his child,” said Tyson’s spokeswoman Tammy Brook.

However, photographer Tony Echevarria, 50, said in video interview posted on TMZ.com that he “wasn’t aggressive, I was shooting from a distance, and I was respectful.” He indicated that his videotape should back up his story.
