🏈 Mike Tyson returning to the ring to face Roy Jones, Jr.; Sept 12th, PPV.

[TerryP]

For the first time in 15 years, legendary boxer Mike Tyson, 54, will return to the ring, taking on his contemporary, 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr., in an eight-round exhibition pay-per-view fight that will take place on September 12.

Call this one the Battle of the Bad Backs. While the idea of watching two grey-haired icons may not be at the top of America’s sports wish list, it’s likely the fight will still draw significant eyeballs due to Tyson’s name, and the sheer oddity of it all.

The fight, which will take place at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif., will be available on pay-per-view and the social media platform, Triller, a mostly music-based app that is now jumping into live sports. The company’s release, which announced the fight, also said there will be a 10-part docu-series leading up to the event.
