Mike Tyson has made a shocking revelation ahead of his exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr. The two legends of the sport are set to return to the ring to battle it out in 8 two minute rounds. They will be competing for the ‘Frontline Battle Belt’ at the renowned Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The fight will be available to fans worldwide on November 28th, 9 PM ET. In the pre-fight press conference, Tyson gives us an insight into just how much he has been training.

The legend of boxing has given glimpses of his training before. He has said that when he trains, there is ‘this other person’ that comes out. Press conference moderator Ariel Helwani asked him if that was the case for this fight as well. To which Mike Tyson replied, “Absolutely. These last few days it’s going to be impossible for me to stay with my family. Nobody’s going to live with me. They kicked me out of the house.”

This is a testimony to how seriously ‘Iron’ Mike has been training for this fight. It shows that Tyson has rekindled the fire that burns inside of him. Plus, Roy Jones Jr himself says he is not prepared to enter the ring with Mike Tyson without undergoing some serious training.

Mike Tyson to continue boxing?

Helwani then asked Tyson if this is just a one-off thing or an actual comeback? Tyson said, “This is for the organization. This is for the legends league only. I’m going to go as long as the league is working. I’m going to do this and I’m going to help a lot of people and my legend is going to be that I gave a lot more than I took”. 

These comments will excite fight fans even more. The possibility of ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson being back for more than just this fight will be a surprise. There were speculations regarding this, but no one knew for sure. As fight fans, we hope that the legends league continues to put together more events. Maybe we could see Mike Tyson compete against one of his former rivals as well.
