LAS COLINAS, Texas — Playtime is over.
Mike Tyson has entered fight mode.
After official weigh-ins Thursday night at the Toyota Music Factory, Tyson slapped Paul during their final face-off before they meet in the ring Friday night at AT&T Stadium.
Security quickly separated them, and Paul jokingly started slapping himself in the face and began laughing.
When asked why he slapped Paul, Tyson said simply: “Talk is over.”
But Paul quickly shifted from laughing it off to an expletive-filled rant.
“I didn’t even feel it,” Paul said. “He’s angry, he’s an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap buddy, but tomorrow you’re gonna get knocked the f–k out. I’m f–king him up, I’m f–king him up. He hits like a bitch. It’s personal now. It’s personal now. He must die.”
