Reuters reported last week that Mike Tyson lashed out at the media for dubbing his upcoming bout with Andrew Golota a "freak show between two of the dirtiest fighters in the business."

Mike said that the reporters and the news media did not have the courage to get into the ring with him. He said that the media and reporters were the freaks because "they don't have the audacity to face us in the ring." (?)

Supposedly, Tyson was heavily medicated during that news conference. It is reported that he displayed mood swings and cursed often. It is even reported that he stripped off his shirt and offered to put a bullet through the head of current heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis.[]
