Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. exhibition reportedly postponed
The boxing exhibition between legends Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. has been postponed, according to The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger.
The fight was originally scheduled for Sept. 12 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, but has been tentatively moved to Nov. 28.
Tyson (50-6, 44 knockouts), a Henderson resident and former undisputed heavyweight champion, had begun training again this year and announced the fight last month. Tyson, 54, hasn’t fought since losing to Kevin McBride on June 11, 2005.
Jones (66-9, 49 KOs), 51 and a former four-division world champion, has been a bit more active, last beating Scott Sigmon on Feb. 8, 2018.
