After stepping away from the boxing world 15 years ago, Mike Tyson made his comeback on November 29 taking on another legend in Roy Jones Jr. The eight-round exhibition went the distance with WBC-assigned judges calling it a split draw.
At a combined 105 years of age, the two premier athletes of yesteryear came out swinging from the get-go despite the bout officially being touted an exhibition given the advanced age of both Tyson and Jones.
In the co-main event of the card, YouTuber Jake Paul knocked out former NBA star Nate Robinson in the third round.
Really enjoyed that. Much better than the cynics feared. Huge credit to both men. Takes real guts to get back in the ring in your 50s & they both got in great shape & acquitted themselves incredibly well.
For me, @MikeTyson won, easily.. he looked so fit! Amazing. pic.twitter.com/rwUmzAqxhuRelated stories
