In true 2020 fashion, the final few weeks of the year’s sports calendar will be highlighted by the meeting of two 50-year-old boxing legends making a bizarre, intriguing return to the ring.
In one corner is was the five-foot-10, 220.4-pound Tyson, entering the ring with a 50-6 record (including 44 knockouts) and a legacy as one of the most dominant heavyweights of all time (climbing the mountain as the WBC, WBA, IBF and lineal world heavyweight champion).
In the other, the five-foot-11, 210-pound Jones, a former Olympic medallist who entered with a 66-9 record (with 47 knockout wins) and world titles as a middleweight, super-middleweight, light-heavyweight and heavyweight.
In the end, the two veterans fought to a draw, according to the WBC’s unofficial judges, Christy Martin, Vinny Pazienza and Chad Dawson — the fight was not officially scored by the California State Athletic Commission.
