Ex-heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is ready to put everything on the line in his November 28 comeback to action fifteen years on from his last fight.
At 54 years old, eyebrows have certainly been raised since Tyson declared his intention to return.
Initially discussing a full and ranked contest over twelve rounds, sense prevailed when Tyson decided on an eight-round exhibition.
The bout against Roy Jones Jr. is still expected to have some sort of token title on the line and will be recognized by the WBC. Although both men will be closely monitored before and after due to their age.
Jones, 51, only fought in 2018 and has a distinct advantage over Tyson in that department.
Out of the two, it seems Tyson is taking things far more seriously, especially mentally.

“The name of this event is called Frontline Battle,” Tyson said. “It’s a frontline battle because the greatest fighter fights another greatest fighter.
“We’re going to find out who is the greatest fighter in the history of great fighters,” he added.
On his matter of fact outlook, Tyson continued: “Anything I do I put so much into it. If I fail, I’m gonna die. How many people do that?
“That’s what I like to do. I go all out or nothing. I play for keeps. You know, I’m the greatest fighter since the conception of God. How could I not take this opportunity up?”
