Coming off a 15-year long layoff in professional boxing, Mike Tyson appears to be in the best shape of his life. He is ready to go to war against former four-division champion Roy Jones Jr. on November 28.

That said, ‘Iron’ Mike is looking forward to adding another knockout victory under his belt at 54.

However, it might not be that easy. Roy Jones Jr. hung up his gloves in 2018 while he was already on a four-fight winning streak. Thus, he has been more active in the sport in the past few years, compared to Mike Tyson.

Since Tyson is the bigger man, he can kickoff the aggression against Roy Jones. Meanwhile, he will also have to defend himself from Roy’s hooks. If landed clean, Roy Jones Jr. can knock out Tyson. Thus, fight fans will get to see a nail-biting thriller on November 28.

Apart from Tyson vs Jones, NBA player Nate Robinson will also make his boxing debut against YouTuber Jake Paul. Thus, one cannot afford to miss out on all the action happening in California.
