Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. boxing match postponed, targeted for Nov. 28
The highly anticipated boxing exhibition fight between the two boxing legends Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr was in jeopardy of getting canceled.
The fight is still expected to happen, but it will take place later than originally expected. The reason for the postponement is unclear, per sources.
Recently, celebrity boxer and YouTube star Jake Paul made headlines as his home was raided by the FBI. It is unclear whether this impacted the delay of the fight as Paul is expected to bring his massive following and casual fans with him to the fight.
As of now all of the fights are still on but rescheduled for a later date of Nov. 28.
Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. are still confident the event will still happen later this year.
Jones Jr., 51, told MMA Fighting in a recent interview that he expects Tyson to be a dangerous threat for the first three rounds expects Mike to “throw hammers” his way despite the bout being contested under exhibition rules.
Reports confirmed the pay-per-view price tag for the event is set at $49.99 and would be streamed through satellite, cable, and social media platform Triller.
