NewsTyson Press Conference Quotes

Mike Tyson: "I'm happy to be here, starting my world tour in Youngstown. It's been a little nerve-racking, but I'm ready to get it started. I'm a little nervous. The people here have been great. I lived approximately 18 miles from here. I'm sure this will be entertaining. I expect to have some fun. Bigger things (on the world tour) are down the road, places like Australia, China and possibly Dubai. I'm doing these exhibitions for charity. I'm retired; no way I'm fighting again. I began training to get in shape and it just snowballed. I wanted to do something for charity and here we are."

Mike Tyson News: Mike Tyson World Tour Media Workout Pictures
 
NewsSource: fightnews
By Antonio Castro

All black trunks with the solid black shoes.

The look was the same, except for the white Michael Steele U.S. Senate tee shirt.

Be ready for the same look this Friday night when Mike Tyson squares off in a four round exhibition match against Corey "T-Rex" Sanders at the Chevrolet Centre in Youngstown, Ohio.

"This is what I'm wearing for the fight" Tyson said after his media workout at the Downtown Boxing Club in Youngstown today.

Jeff Fenech, Tyson's trainer, put Mike through six makeshift rounds that consisted of hitting the punching mitts and a punch shield.

Tyson looked like he was having fun in the ring, but he was not in a talkative mood afterward.

The only talking was done by Corey Sanders, who graciously said: "You all are going to see Friday night. Enjoy the show!"

When summoned to answer questions from the media, Tyson sent over a member from his crew and politely gestured, "He's going to do my talking for me."

After roughly ten minutes, Tyson reluctantly agreed to approach where the media was standing, but still offered no answers to any of the questions that were posed. When asked how he felt, Tyson simply showed a smile and gave a thumbs up sign. He continued to point to his shirt, showing his support for Michael Steele.

This was a far cry from the Mike Tyson who was introduced at the kickoff press conference in September to announce "Mike Tyson's World Tour" event. There, Tyson gladly answered any questions that were thrown his way.

Today's version didn't seem to be in a bad mood, this writer just thinks that he wasn't in a talkative mood.

Tyson appeared to be in a good mood as he arrived to the gym. After walking in, he slowly looked at all the fight posters on the wall. During the workout, Fenech continuously let Mike know that he was doing a great job and after a series of hard shots to the body punch shield that he was holding, he looked over to the 30-40 members of the media and gave a smile as if to say "the power is still there."

Mike Tyson News: Mike Tyson World Tour newsconference pictures
 
NewsSource: fightnews
By Josh Womack

"The Mike Tyson World Tour" made a stop at J-Bella's restaurant in Strongsville, Ohio on Monday afternoon. The event acted as a luncheon and press conference to promote Mike Tyson's exhibition fight against Corey "T-Rex" Sanders on October 20 in Youngstown, Ohio at the Chevrolet Centre.

Attending the press conference was Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs), his trainer Jeff Fenech, promoter Sterling McPherson, junior middleweight Juan McPherson (3-0, 2 KOs) and his trainer Al Jones.

"We are very excited that the 'Mike Tyson's World Tour' is just around the corner," stated the promoter. "Mike and I picked Youngstown because we knew it was a great fight town and Mike is looking to put on a great show for everyone," said McPherson.

Tyson echoed the same comments: "I'm just looking to have fun. If people are expecting some sort of annihilation then they're coming to the wrong show."

Asked if he still considered himself the 'Baddest Man on The Planet,' Tyson replied: "I'm just Mike. I'm just trying to be a good person. I have a lot of pain in me right now from boxing. There is a lot of scum in boxing and I'm sick of it. The people up here," commented Tyson while pointing to Fenech, (Juan) McPherson and (Sterling) McPherson, "are good people and we are looking to put on a great show."

One funny moment came when Tyson joked about the wide range of opponents he would like to compete with on the tour. "I would fight women, children, celebrities, you name it." (a quote which many people from the press would later take out of context). Then the former champion added with a smile: "I'm just looking to have fun. The money that comes in from these fights will go to charities. I'm a big fan of children's hospitals."
