Mike Tyson looks ready to fight less than two weeks before comeback

By JM SIASAT

Former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson looks like he's ready to fight ahead of his ring return against former four-division champion Roy Jones Jr.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the 54-year-old boxer shared photos of him looking in tip-top shape while in full boxing gear. 

Tyson will feature in his first boxing match since 2005 in a two-minute, eight-round exhibition match against the 51-year-old Jones on November 29 (PH time) at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

A special belt is on the line for the pair of boxing legends as the fight was sanctioned by no less than the WBC itself. The bout will air on the Triller app pay-per-view for $49.99.

The bout was originally slated for September, but it was postponed to allow more people to see the fight and maximize profit.

Tyson plans to keep fighting after the exhibition, though his children would rather have him stay retired from boxing. —MGP, GMA News
