Mike Tyson to fight Roy Jones Jr in comeback exhibition fight

Mike Tyson is set to return to the boxing ring against fellow legend Roy Jones Jr in an eight-round exhibition match, according to reports.

54-year-old Tyson looks set to fight 51-year-old Jones in California, with TMZ reporting that it will take place on 12 September, less than two months from now.

The California State Athletic Commission is set to sanction the bout between the youngest heavyweight champion in history and the former four-weight world champ.

While it will be a boxing match, the two veterans will not be going all-out to score a knockout, with Andy Foster, the executive director of the California State Athletic Commission, confirming it will be a relatively tame affair. (Metro)
