Mike Tyson is in Toronto to promote his one-man show during the city's film festival. While there, Tyson also met with Mayor Rob Ford and endorsed the real life King Hippo and his campaign for reelection, calling him "the best mayor in Toronto's history." As part of the press for his show, Iron Mike later appeared on Toronto's CP24 and things got very dicey, very quickly when anchor Nathan Downer asked him if the support of a convicted rapist might be detrimental to the Ford campaign. Mike did not like that.He was immediately defensive and said he wouldn't comment on that question but, hoo boy, did he ever comment on that question. He called Downer a piece of shit and responded to Downer's plea to watch his language on live television with "Fuck you, what are you gonna do about it?"Downer kept calm and quickly changed topics but Tyson was still on fire. When he asked if it was nerve wracking performing he said it was "more nerve wracking being here talking to a rat piece of shit like you" and then, so very earnestly, followed that up with "Nah, because you're a piece of shit." Downer took it all in stride and simply ended the interview, but not before Tyson got in one final "Fuck you."
[Awful Announcing]No ill will toward Mike Tyson. He lashed out at me and that's okay. Not taking it personally pic.twitter.com/e27mfrOagJ
