Good evening and welcome to tonight’s quinquagenarian showdown between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. Two of the most famous prizefighters of their generation are returning to the squared circle for a scheduled eight-round heavyweight exhibition at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. While the bout has been sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission, it’s officially an exhibition and the result will appear on neither man’s professional record.
Tyson, 54, held the undisputed heavyweight champion from 1987 through 1990. Jones, 51, won titles in four different weight classes and was considered the best pound-for-pound boxer of his time.
Bryan will be here shortly. In the meantime here’s Kevin Mitchell’s lookahead to tonight’s event.
