Two of the most electrifying boxers in history, Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr., will conduct an exhibition bout on September 12 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. The pair have a combined age of 105. The event will be broadcast on pay-per-view and the multimedia platform Triller, and will otherwise be exclusively available at Blockbuster Video.

“It’s because I can do it. And I believe other people believe they can do it too,” said Tyson. “Just because we are 54, it doesn’t mean that we have to start a new career and our lives are totally over. Not when you feel as beautiful as I do, and I’m sure that other people feel the same way.

“I never took that many punches. After the last fight I had, I left and I lived my life, and I’ve been through some experiences, and now I’m back here. I feel like I took better care of my body and my state of mind than most of the fighters before me that retired and came back.”

“We’re both accomplished fighters, we know how to take care of ourselves. It’s an eight-round exhibition. And, listen, we’ll be all right. Trust me, we can take care of ourselves.”

Jones expressed similar sentiments.

“I’ve been trying to enjoy retirement, but people don’t seem to want to let me retire,” said Jones. “They keep calling me, telling me that Mike wants to come back, and that you’d be a great opponent for Mike.

“We always wanted to see it, but I would’ve preferred it back then. Tyson is a hell of a specimen still. Still a problem to deal with. But at the same time, life is life, you only live once. You want to know what it’s like, you go in there and see. You still gotta see it.”
