LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- No Los Angeles International Airport security cameras captured an alleged fight between boxer Mike Tyson and a photographer, TMZ.com reported exclusively.

The celebrity news Web site said Sunday, citing unidentified sources, the early November run-in involving the former heavyweight boxing champion was only captured on film by the camera carried by the paparazzi photographer involved in the incident.

The Los Angeles City Attorney's office has not determined if Tyson, 43, or the photographer, identified as Tony Echevarria, will face criminal charges for the incident.

Tyson maintains he struck Echevarria in self-defense after the photographer bumped into a stroller carrying one of Tyson's children.

Both Tyson and Echevarria were arrested after the incident.
