Mike Tyson last competed in the ring all the way back in 2005 when George Bush was still the President of America. The 54-year-old released a few training videos earlier in the year that immediately got fans talking about a return. Moreover, their wish was granted as Tyson announced that he would end a 15-year spell away from the ring and fight Roy Jones Jr.

Jones Jr. is an icon in his own right, and he competed until 2018. Moreover, he believes that he has the tools on his side to triumph over Tyson who’s been out of the game for several years. Despite the fact that he’s 51 himself, there’s no doubt that being the more active fighter will be an advantage.
