LAS COLINAS, Texas — Play time is over.
Mike Tyson went into battle mode.
After the official weigh-in Thursday night at the Toyota Music Factory, Tyson slapped Paul in their final showdown before they met in the ring at AT&T Stadium on Friday night.
Security quickly separated them, but Paul playfully slapped himself in the face and started laughing.
When asked why he slapped Paul, Tyson simply replied, “End of story.”
But Paul quickly moved from laughing it off to an expletive-filled rant.
“I didn't feel it,” Paul said. “He's mad, he's an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, I thought he was a cute slap buddy, but tomorrow he's going to get beat up. I'm mad at him, I'm mad at him. He hits me like a bitch. It's personal now. He has to die.”
