LOS ANGELES - Mike Tyson, the former world heavyweight champion who retired in 2005, said on Thursday he will make a comeback at age 54, fighting Roy Jones Jr on Sept 12 in Los Angeles.
Tyson vowed it would be competitive rather than for show -"we're showing our skills and fighting" - and said he wants to recapture the fearsome form he once displayed."I've got one speed - forward." Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at 20 years and four months when he stopped Trevor Berbick in the second round in 1986 to win the World Boxing Council crown.
'TAKEN CARE OF MY BODY' He was arrested for rape in 1991 and convicted in 1992, serving three years in prison before his 1995 release and return to the ring.
