Mike Tyson Unveils Official Poster
Tyson recently took to social media to reveal the official poster of the event. As always, “Iron Mike” is promoting the event with full steam ahead. And, he’s doing it his own way. Playing by his own rules, Mike plans on knocking on Roy Jones Jr. Even though the fight is an exhibition match. Which, the California State Athletic Commission told fight fans that the match would be nothing more than a glorified sparring match.
Regardless, here’s the poster for the event.

Rounding Out the Card
It’ll be extremely interesting to see what happens when Tyson and Jones share the ring. And, if there will be any backlash from the California State Athletic Commission if Tyson were to actually knock out Roy Jones. Surely, there’s an agreement in place to make sure that the match happens within the confines of the agreement. On the same note, it’s nearly impossible to take the killer instinct out of the former “baddest man” on the planet.
As of now, the entire card for the monumental night has yet to be revealed. The only undercard match announced is Youtuber Jake Paul vs NBA guard Nate Robinson on the undercard.
