MIKE TYSON VS. ROY JONES JR. POSTPONED
Los Angeles, CA (August 10th, 2020)– Sources confirmed that the eight-round exhibition match between Tyson and Jones Jr. scheduled for Sept. 12 has been postponed, following an initial report from The Athletic. The targeted date to reschedule the fight between former world champions is Nov. 28.
The reason for the postponement is unclear, according to sources.
Mike Tyson, 54, retired in 2005 following a loss to Kevin McBride after not answering the bell in the seventh round. “Iron” has lost a considerable amount of weight and looks to be in tremendous shape ahead of his return to the ring.
Roy Jones Jr., 51, told MMA Fighting in a recent interview that he expects Tyson to be a dangerous threat for the first three rounds and to “throw hammers” his way despite the bout being contested under exhibition rules.
Real Combat Media recently confirmed that the pay-per-view price tag for the event was set for $49.99 and would be streamed through cable, satellite and social media platform Triller. No word if that is still the case for the new targeted date.
