Listen. Both Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr have been retired from boxing for years. With that being said, I am still absolutely terrified of both of them. And you should probably be, too.
We were reminded of that during their weigh in ahead of Saturday night’s fight. They had an extremely tense staredown that served as a perfect reminder of just how tough they both were.
Normally, when we get to the weigh down, there’s a bunch of trash talk. Not here. No one spoke a word. They didn’t have to. Particularly with Tyson — he didn’t need to say a word. We know what that right hook does.
Just look at how tense this is.
For the first time in 15 years, Iron Mike weighs in and looks into the soul of his opponent 🥶

Whew buddy. Yeah, they look old. But you couldn’t pay me any amount of money to step into the ring with either of them. No wonder fans are so ready to see this.
Everything kicks off at 9 p.m. We’ll see how it goes.
