He said, “You lay a good one on me, you better take me out cause if you don’t take me out, church over.”
Tyson is one of the most lethal punchers to have ever graced the sport. Also, he is a natural heavyweight. Thus, it makes sense for fans to back him as the dominant fighter. However, Roy Jones Jr claimed that he would be ready for anything thrown at him.

He added, “If he does decide to only smoke bombs, I’m the smaller guy. If I am not in shape or not prepared to defend or take a title then how I am going to defend myself? How am I going to get them off? I ain’t depending on the referee or the commissioner, nobody to get them off me. So it’s like I gotta get them off so I got to be in shape and be ready just in case because you never know, he is big.”
While Tyson hung his boxing gloves after a shocking stoppage against Kevin McBride in 2005, Roy Jones retired in 2018, while riding a four-fight win streak. Thus, we cannot rule him out in the upcoming fight. However, it is great to see that Roy Jones Jr. isn’t demeaning Tyson’s abilities.
