Dressed in a custom-made suit given to him by pal and former President Donald Trump, Covington tore into the Brit champion and outplayed his plans for the future.
But seconds after leaving the podium, he stunned the media by storming back to the dias to take aim at NBA superstar James.
He said: “I’m gonna say one last thing, I’m gonna say one last thing to you guys.
“F**k LeBron James!
“If you hate America so much and you don’t like the country that gave you a billion dollars, leave it!
“Or come and deal with me.
“Or go to China and go to the sweatshops where you employ all these labourers and use these women and pennies on the dollar to make your millions.
“F**k you, Luke Dram James. You’re a spineless coward and b***h.”

Covington’s foul-mouthed tirade isn’t the first time he’s taken aim at the Los Angeles Lakers star.
He reignited their feud before his UFC 272 clash with Jorge Masvidal, telling Joe Rogan: “It’s so great to have you back, Joe Rogan.
“We love you at the UFC, we missed you. F**k cancel culture. Tonight is street Judas’ last supper.
“Tomorrow I’m sending him to the electric chair. I’m going to flip the switch and fry his bum ass and electrify the T-Mobile Arena like it’s never been electrified before.
” Before I go, I want to say a big thank you to the real heroes and celebrities in this country.
“Not that woke, spineless coward like LeBron James. I’m talking about our heroes, law enforcement, military, our first responders.
“God bless you, God bless you all. God bless America.”
