The Los Angeles Times reports the boxer told police that the shutterbug struck him in an attempt to provoke him.
Meanwhile, the photographer claims Iron Mike punched him in the face and tried to take film from his camera.
Mike, 43, has been back in the public eye while promoting his new documentary, Tyson. He also appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show last month to discuss the tragic death of his daughter Exodus, 4, in a freak accident on May 26.
