Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones - Preview, PPV card, Timing, Predictions

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. at their 50s are set to commence on Saturday night in Los Angeles. Both of them will show up once again when they square off in the main event of a PPV card from the Staples Center. 

Though the fight is set to be an exhibition, both Tyson and Jones don’t appear to be treating it that way, with the trash talk in the media and the extreme training sessions both fighters are undergoing to get ready for the heavyweight brawl. Both of them have vowed to knock each other out.

“Not a real fight? We got Mike Tyson versus Roy Jones. I’m coming to fight, and I hope he’s coming to fight, and that’s all you need to know.” Tyson said in an interview.

Tyson has amassed an amazing 50-6 record during his career. But the 54 year old boxer hasn’t fought since June 2005 when he lost to Kevin McBride via a corner stoppage. Tyson said after the fight that he didn’t have “the guts to be in this sport anymore.” 

Roy Jones finished his boxing career with 47 knockouts and 66-9 record. He fought last on February 2018 against Scott Sigmon in which he won via unanimous decision.

The fight is scheduled for eight two-minute rounds, with no headgears. The fighters will wear 12-ounce gloves and the referee will be Ray Corona. Fans are not allowed inside the arena for their safety.
