We’re less than a month away from the eight-round boxing exhibition bout between “sweet science” legends Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr., scheduled for Sat., Nov. 28, 2020 inside Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
Tyson and Jones Jr. were joined today (Oct. 29) by undercard attractions Jake Paul and Viddal Riley for a special press conference to hype the upcoming pay-per-view (PPV) card, which is currently listed for $49.99 (more on that here).
Tyson, 54, has not competed since his Kevin McBride loss way back in 2005, but recent videos of the “Iron” man pounding the pads has renewed interest in his boxing return. As for Jones Jr., 51, his last bout was decision victory over Scott Sigmon in early 2018.
According to the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), the Tyson-Jones headliner is supposed to be a glorified sparring match and not an actual “go for broke” type showdown, but at least the winner gets to go home with an ugly green belt.
