Mike Tyson's Handiwork

This is what it looks like when Mike Tyson punches you in the face.

Mike Tyson's Victim
Paparazzo Tony Echevarria got into it with Tyson yesterday afternoon at LAX. Both men were arrested. Tyson was taken to the police station ... Echevarria went to the hospital.

Tyson's lawyer, David Chesnoff, claims the photog was harassing Tyson, his wife and kid. Chesnoff claims some photogs followed the ex-champ into the bathroom, though he didn't say if Echevarria was one of them.

The photog got 5 stitches.

Pretty ironic -- his t-shirt says, "Live Long."


Today the Role of DMX Will be Played by Coolio

DMX, CoolioDMX couldn't come to terms with the people putting on a celeb boxing match next month -- meaning they wouldn't fix it so he would win -- so X is out and Coolio is in.

X had previously agreed to the bout, but only on the condition he was guaranteed to win.

Klitschko -- I Wouldn't Hit My Bro for $5 Billion!

It'd have to be one hefty purse to get heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko to take on his brother, Vitali -- because he says not even $5 billion would get him in the ring.

Tito Ortiz Sued Over MMA Trash Talk

Tito Ortiz is on the receiving end of a serious legal attack -- one that started after the UFC legend bashed "Rampage" Jackson's former trainer to the media.

The guy filing the lawsuit is Juanito Ibarra -- a fighting expert who claims he's trained more than 15 world champs and several Olympic Gold Medal winners. Ibarra's pissed over an interview Tito gave to a website back in 2008, in which the fighter ripped Ibarra as a "thief" who had financially "taken advantage of Rampage."

In the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Ibarra claims Tito's statements are all false and "highly offensive" -- and things got worse when scores of sports websites began publishing follow-up stories, repeating Tito's comments.

Ibarra is suing Tito and all the blogs and publications that ran Tito's interview for defamation, invasion of privacy and emotional distress.

Ricky was out cold on the mat for few minutes after the devastating punch -- and after the fight, his trainer told the media it would probably be a good idea for him to retire.

Ouch.
