Tyson Brushes Off Media

This time Mike Tyson showed up. But he wasn’t in much of a mood to chat.

“I just want to leave,” Tyson said during a press conference to promote his Nov. 4 fight with Buster Mathis Jr. “I don’t even want to be here.”

The former heavyweight champion, who left moments lafter and blew off a press conference in New York last week by claiming he missed his flight, showed up 15 minutes late for the event.

Tyson walked in sucking on a cherry Tootsie Pop, which he discarded in a plastic cup before giving some perfunctory answers to questions he clearly felt pained to answer.
