‘Captain Hook’ is one of the former pound-for-pound best in the world and many believe that he can vanquish ‘Iron’ Mike. However, Jones has got a lot of roles to play apart from getting ready for his upcoming fight.
While promoting his recent RJJ Boxing show on UFC Fight Pass, the 4-division champion has answered a lot of questions. While he looks locked and loaded for a war, Jones is also ready to dismiss VADA testing reports that may show up positive.
Damn! Roy Jones Jr. is not ready to spare Mike Tyson
During the show at Mississippi, Roy Jones revealed that they are being drug tested by VADA before the fight.
“There is testing. They came and tested me last week, and they tested Mike last week. I hope he passes the test because without the test we can’t fight, but even if he didn’t pass the test, Roy would still fight,” said Roy Jones.
Jones and Tyson could have locked horns in the 90s if things had fallen in place. Jones said that he wanted to fight Tyson after John Ruiz. However, it didn’t happen. Thus, Jones doesn’t want to miss out on Mike Tyson this time.
He added, “I’m the kinda guy, I’m old school, you know what I mean? I hope you pass the test, but when I turn my attention to you, I want you, I don’t give a damn what you got, I want you. When I see you like that, I want you, I don’t care who it is.”
Meanwhile, Tyson also appears to be in the best shape of his life. The 54-year-old is ready to leave it all inside the ring. Despite losing his dominance in the early 2000s, Tyson is still one of the best heavyweights in the sport.
Thus, we can never rule him out. One clean shot and it can be lights out for Roy Jones Jr. Moreover, Tyson’s latest training videos have already cited his killer instinct. No matter who takes the win on November 28, fight fans are in for a treat.
