A reporter in attendance for the pre-fight press conference yelled: "Put him in a strait-jacket," which prompted a furious reaction from the boxer.

"I eat your asshole alive you bitch. F**k you, you ho. Come and say that to my face and I'll f**k you in the as in front of everybody. You bitch. Come on you bitch. You scared coward, you not man enough to f**k with me.

"You can't last two minutes in my world bitch. Look at you scared now you ho. Scared like a little white p**sy. Scared of the real man. I'll f**k you till you love me f**got."
