Mike Tyson celebrated Thanksgiving in the most bizarre way you could think of. The boxing icon had a Roy Jones Jr themed thanksgiving dinner to try to get into the head of his opponent. Both fighters will make their comebacks in a highly scrutinized event on November 28. The two fighters were fairly respectful to each other in the buildup to this fight; however, Tyson may have just taken a huge dig at Jones.

In a video posted on his YouTube channel, we see Mike Tyson celebrating a mock Thanksgiving with his two children. The camera then pans to Tyson, revealing Roy Jones Jr’s head under a cloche. He then refers to Jones as a turkey while his kids look on in complete bewilderment. He also makes a sly dig at his former rival Evander Holyfield and says, “I like the ears” and eats one of Jones’ ears. Tyson then proceeds to say, “It tastes much better than Evander’s”.

This is surely one of the most surprising things about this fight so far. What makes this so surprising is that there is no real bad blood between the two fighters. However, this could possibly cause a rift as Jones could view it as very disrespectful.

So if this causes a rift between fighters, we could see a more intense match-up between the two.
