"We going to box, or we going to fight?" Charleston White warns his opponent after the infamous weigh-in

It looks like Charleston White let his boxing opponent off easy by pepper spraying him during the faceoff. The 53-year-old had more tools in his arsenal if things got even messier.

After the hilarious faceoff, White shared a statement on social media regarding his actions. In the video, he revealed that he had a taser hidden under his robes, just in case things got even more violent. He said:

"I hit that mother f*****g switch when he pushed me," White said, showing the pepper spray strapped to his hand. "I told you to quit playing with me. If you want to box, let's box. I don't do these other s**t. Leave me alone because I could've pulled this out," said White, pulling out a taser from under his robes.

He added:

"I could've tased you... I came for the weigh-in, I didn't come to be pushed around... Get your s**t together, boy. We going to box, or we going to fight? Because if we are going to fight, I've got a bunch of s**t."
