FILE - In this Aug. 2, 2019, file photo, Mike Tyson attends a celebrity golf tournament in Dana Point, Calif. Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. are older, wiser, calmer men than the superstars who dominated their sport. Their fight at Staples Center on Saturday night, Nov. 28, is an eight-round exhibition bout with no official judging and limited violence, although the limit depends on whether you're asking the fighters or the California State Athletic Commission.
These two boxing greats are older, calmer men now, but they’re returning to the ring Saturday night intending to recapture a moment of their brilliant past — and they’ve both worked very hard to make sure they won’t be embarrassed in this extraordinary boxing exhibition.“This is the fun part,” said Tyson, who will fight for the first time in 15 years. “Everything else to get here was hell.”
But for Tyson and Jones, this unique pay-per-view show is less of a sporting event and more of a chance for two transcendent athletes to prove age is a number — and aging is a choice. “I didn’t even think I would live this long,” he said. “I was just so intense, and just took myself so serious.” Tyson is referring to his loss to journeyman Kevin McBride in 2005, when he finally wrapped up his singular career in ugly fashion. He became the heavyweight champion at 20 and reigned over the division for five years, but his epic downfall soured him on the sport.
Nate Robinson was a rookie guard for the Knicks in 2005 when Jones participated in a full practice with the team.
Wait a minute it's PPV I thought it was going to be like a halftime show. Anybody who pays to watch two elderly men box should never complain about money with a straight face again
How can this be a good idea?
Yes they should be celebrated
There’s going to be loose Change and Werthers flying out of their chinos everywhere.
And Mike Tyson is a rapist.
That, and everyone deserves a concussion.
“Thith ith thhhe thun part”
No plzzzz 🙏
Convicted rapist says what...?
They are going to fight? Why not have a old strong man competition? More brain damage... I guess that's what people will pay to see...
FREAKSHOW
Donald Trump could get into a boxing match with a man who had no arms, and still manage to get knocked the hell out.
Why the F are you promoting a convicted rapist? Oh yeah, women don’t matter.
Yeah... don’t assume Mike is gonna be some old dude in the ring. When that bell rings, he becomes something else entirely, and I doubt age has removed that from him.
You mean CONVICTED RAPIST Mike Tyson
Who cares. He's a rapist.
Hi :) Famous Converts To Islam I ask Allah to guide all see that and protect you
54 years old or not, I can’t think of any man who wants the fist of Iron Mike to connect with a part of their body. I asked my three older brothers first. No takers there.🤣
Hungry or Broke.....hungry and broke are the same thing, right
Is this fight sponsored by AARP? If not, they’re missing out on a great marketing opportunity...🥊 Tyson RoyJonesJr AARP
To me Mike Tyson will always be the best heavyweight fighter. And he was best when he was younger and walked into the ring wearing black shoes and a towel. But damn, Mike is now this old.
This is bad idea. That’s it.
No interest in seeing a convicted RAPIST MikeTyson (Desiree Washington) and domestic abuser(victim Robin Givens) or ear biter in the ring EVER again. NeverForget
They should name this fight Geritol v. Geritol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Was Tyson 'hungry' when he chomperooed a previous opponent?
Theyre gunna be tired after the round 😂😂😂
They will be boxing in high waisted plaid bermuda shorts, Hawaiian shirts, over sized black plastic sunglasses. They will follow the match with friendly games of shuffleboard and dominos.
Hey , do Tyson’s “numerous misbehaviors”include his conviction for rape? How about some actual reporting?
SAD. SAD. SAD. SAD.
Oh for fux sake
You mean sixty-something!
I would not spend my time on some one who supported trump. Shows no care for the poor American race
The promoters screwed themselves with the ridiculous rules. No one wants to watch a fight that doesn't allow the fighters to fight. We already know the outcome as a result.
It is fights like these that make me fucking missthe show CelebrityDeathMatch
I used to play Fight Night Champion obsessively always using Tyson and one person I never lost to was Roy Jones
I saw hungry, Tyson and thought ear and ran
More good news please(((
USA prepare for a ReVote in Pennsylvania Georgia Michigan
Roy got scared as hell when he heard Mike was “hungry”
