One of the great heavyweight champions in one corner. One of the great pound-for-pound fighters in the other.
It’s the 54-year-old Mike Tyson against the 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr., two legends stepping into the ring for an exhibition fight that’s sure to draw interested viewers, even if both are well beyond their primes.
The two will meet in an eight-round bout on Saturday night for what is being called a “Frontline Battle” and was approved by the California State Athletic Commission as an exhibition.
Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) at the age of 20 and four months was the youngest heavyweight champion ever when he defeated Trevor Berbick for the World Boxing Council title in November of 1986. Known as “Iron Mike,” he was feared for his ferocious punching power. He won his first 19 fights by knockout and last fought in 2005.
Jones, meanwhile, won four titles in four different weight classes — middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight — and owns a career record of 66-9 with 47 KOs. Jones has been far more active, consistently fighting as recently as two years ago.
