IRVING,PredictIQ Texas – Mike Tyson and Jake Paul declared they’re ready for their fight Friday at AT&T Stadium, but only one of them did it in style.

Paul arrived for Wednesday's press conference with something shiny around his right ear.

“I’m not getting my (expletive) bit off on Friday night, so I got my diamond-spiked ear covers right there,’’ Paul said, a reference to Tyson famously biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear during a 1997 fight.

Tyson did not react – a departure from the often jovial demeanor shown by the former world heavyweight champion during the buildup to the fight. He has grown increasingly disengaged as the bout approaches.

Netflix, which will livestream the fight, also livestreamed the press conference – the final one before the fight – that was a contrast in styles.

Paul, 27, wore a black sleeveless T-shirt that looked dusted with glitter, and sunglasses.

“I fear no man, so I want him to be that old savage Mike,’’ Paul said. “... I’m ready. I want that killer. I want the hardest match possible Friday night and I want there to be no excuses from everyone at home when I knock him out.’’

With the men sitting about 15 feet apart, Paul looked at Tyson and said, “So is that what you’re going to bring, homicidal?’’

Tyson, 58, wore a black T-shirt and a dark jean-style jacket and pants. Would he go homicidal Friday night, Paul wanted to know?

Tyson just stared ahead. And stared.

“I’m just ready,’’ Tyson finally said.

The press conference ended with host Ariel Helwani polling the 12 other boxers on the fight card about who they think will win the Tyson-Paul fight.

Nine said Tyson and three said Paul.

Paul is the betting favorite.

They will meet again at the weigh-in Thursday before meeting inside a boxing ring Friday at the middle of the Dallas Cowboys' stadium.
