Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will return to the boxing ring for the first time since 2005 on Saturday night in Los Angeles, for a pay-per-view showdown will fellow legend Roy Jones Jr.
Tyson, now 54, and Jones Jr., 51, will take part in the exhibition match, which features some unusual rules. The fight will go eight rounds, with each round reduced from the typical three minutes to two minutes, and while the fighters won’t be wearing headgear, they are not allowed to knock each other out. There will not be judges scoring the fight at ringside, but a panel of former fighters will decide an unofficial winner.
There will, however, be some official fights on the undercard, including a celebrity bout between Jake Paul and former NBA star Nate Robinson, and Badou Jack vs. Blake McKernan.
