Official Result: Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. is ruled a draw
Tyson has already expressed interest in future exhibition bouts, throwing out names like Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua as potential opponents.
“I think they’re brilliant, man. They’re brilliant fighters, they could do so much for society and have exhibitions, and take the money from the exhibitions, because they’re such big crowd-pleasers, and they could help so many people,” Tyson said to BT Sport. “The homeless, the drug-affected. There’s so many people out there that we can do so much for, and it wouldn’t even be a 10th of their charitable heart to do something like that. In fact, fight exhibitions with me, and most of our charity would go to people who desperately need it.”
Meanwhile, Roy Jones Jr. appears set on having his long desired fight with UFC legend Anderson Silva next.
“If everything goes well on Saturday night I’m almost positive Anderson Silva in a boxing match is next.”
