“2 of the Baddest [Ever]”: Fans Go Wild as Mike Tyson & Former Opponent Roy Jones Jr. Share Heartwarming Moment

Boxing legends Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. are two of the most accomplished boxers of their generation which were filled with elite talent. Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in the world when he captured gold at the age of 20, a record still standing to this day. Jones on the other hand has arguably one of the best resumes in the cruiserweight and heavyweight holding major titles in both divisions.

However, despite the two having careers in the same timeline, they would not meet each other in the ring until 2020. This fight was not what fans would expect with both fighters being over 5o at the time they met in the ring.

Therefore it wasn’t surprising when the boxing world lost its mind after ‘Captain Hook’ uploaded a picture with ‘Iron Mike’. The two can be seen shaking hands as they posed for the camera for an iconic photo.

Moreover, Jones mentioned Tyson as the youngest heavyweight champion and also “the smallest”.

“The youngest heavyweight champion ever and arguably the smallest……….. always great to see Mike in great spirits. His presence makes me smile inside and out.” he wrote.

This was not all as the fans were also quick to jump on and react to the two heavyweight legends reuniting after a very long time.
