Boxing: Tyson goes loco in Cuba hotel
Boxer Mike Tyson was involved in a heated confrontation in a Cuban hotel, throwing crystal balls at reporters and punching a cameraman on the back of the head.
‘‘He just went crazy,’’ said cameraman Felipe Borrego. ‘‘I was planning to ask him for an interview, but he never let me speak.’’
The former world heavyweight champion, due to fight Lennox Lewis this year, was furious to see the press waiting for him in the lobby of the Havana hotel, it was reported.
Tyson, 35, picked up three grapefruit-sized Christmas balls from a lobby display and threw them at the reporters before giving Borrego two light punches.
