Roy Jones Jr is the chosen one for Mike Tyson’s long-awaited comeback. The former undisputed light heavyweight champion emerged as the name from a huge list of candidates comprising names like Evander Holyfield and Tyson Fury. He will lock horns with the former heavyweight champion on November 28.
The 29-year veteran may not be as rusty in the ring considering he hung up his gloves only in 2018. However, he is putting in an effort in the gym as he prepares to go toe-to-toe against one of the biggest names in the sport. The retired boxer who won his last four professional bouts is working out and looked ripped in his latest Instagram post.
Roy Jones Jr wrote, “I’ll never stop! I’ll never truly retire because my mind is always on go!”
