Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr is being postponed until November 28

In disappointing news, the right 8-round exhibition match between 50+-year-old Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr is being postponed until November 28 for it to marinate to take place in front of live crowds.

RingTV is reporting that postponement for the Tyson-Jones eight-round exhibition fight, which was supposed to be taking place next month on September 12 on pay-per-view at the Dignity Health Park in Carson, California.

These are the reasons the Tyson vs. Jones Jr exhibition fight is being postponed:

More time to marinate
Drug testing by VADA
Regulations – the fight is supposed to be a glorified sparring match. However, Jones and Tyson are talking like it’s a real fight, not an easy-going spar. Jones is concerned about needing to protect himself against Tyson if he starts swinging for the fences with knockout intentions
The need to stage the fight in front of a crowd
Canelo Alvarez potentially fighting on September 12

Why is Mike Tyson coming out of retirement for this? Why risk your legacy. For money? Just get into acting and make good action movies.

So weird to me that after all tyson has said about his past, leaving boxing and his ego behind, now steps in the ring again. Is he broke?

What legacy does he have to lose? It's not like he's undefeated. He got beat by bums in the end of his career.

Tyson is far from broke.



He is finacially doing well these days as he is carefull with his money now.


With Don King out the picture there is alot less thievery.



Don King was the demise of Mike in the late 80's.


You can add Robin Givens to that list too.

He said on the JRExperience he got rid of his ego.



He is promoting his Legends Boxing League with this match.

Good. Nobody wants to see a friendly sparring match. People wanna see a knockout.

I wouldn't bet on live crowds by then either. Just do what the UFC is doing and get it over with. My guess is one of the geezers got injured and they need to push it back without having to go into detail.

Nah, Mike's got money now. And I read recently that he likes to use it to give back to his community, charity, etc. He seems to have completely changed as a person and now enjoys helping others.
How dare you!

Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

boxing has been doing that already fights without any crowds the only issue are the fighters cause they have to take paycuts now and some of them have an ego that's too big.

Getting rid of your ego is just hippy talk for doing psychedelics. When I used to have to go buy grass from the hippies they'd talk about ego death and make me listen to a 15 live rendition of Whipping Post by Widespread Panic and it would fill me with murderous rage. I don't wanna listen to your chitty music or retarded philosophy. Give me my product and let me go home

Nostalgia feels! Doesn't bother me that the fight's being postponed. Either way, I'll be watching. 80's/90's kid checking in.

I know what PBC has been doing. I'm talking about this particular fight, which doesn't need to marinate. Everyone knows who Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. are. Fighters need ego's that's part of what keeps them alive.
