"It’s personal now. I respect it. More sales for the fight, more hype, I love it. This is the Mike Tyson I wanted the whole, entire time. Get him angry, let’s bring out the badass motherf**ker, because he’s going to sleep.
"I love it. I love this sh*t. I was asking for it all week. I got what I wanted, and it was a slap to the face. He made a lot of people happy with that."
