Former world champions Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. will meet in an eight-round exhibition fight Saturday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The fight is the main event of an six-fight PPV event.
Tyson, 54, hasn’t fought since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005. Jones, 51, hasn’t had a significant win since defeating Jeff Lacy in 2009.
In the co-main event, YouTube sensation Jake Paul returns to the ring for his second professional fight against former NBA player Nate Robinson in an six-round light heavyweight battle.
Paul defeated Ali Eson Gib by first-round TKO in January, and Robinson is making his boxing debut.
Also on the card, former super middleweight and light heavyweight titleholder Badou Jack, takes on unbeaten Blake McKernan in an eight-round cruiserweight bout. Jack (22-3-3, 13 KOs) is coming off back-to-back decision loses in 2019, against Marcus Browne in January and Jean Pascal in December.
To start the main card, Jamaine Ortiz (13-0, 7 KOs), takes on Sulaiman Segawa (13-2-1, 4 KOs) in an eight-round lightweight fight.
