Follow the fight between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. live
Tyson, the once undisputed Heavyweight World Champion, retired in 2005 after not returning for the seventh bell in his bout against Kevin McBride. A year later he tried to start the “Mike Tyson’s World Tour” a series of exhibition fights but only fought one four-round event against his sparring partner Corey Sanders to little fanfare. Since then, Tyson has been trying to rehabilitate his image tarnished by a rape conviction and an ear-biting incident.
Roy Jones Jr. Is considered one of the best boxers of all time. He has won world championships in four weight classes and became the heavyweight champion in 2003, one of only six boxers to start their career as a light middleweight and win the heavyweight championship. Jones Jr. will be returning to the ring for the first time since 2018.
