Mike Tyson set to make boxing comeback in September, to face Roy Jones Jr

Former boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is making a comeback to the ring. Tyson will fight Roy Jones Jr. in an eight-round exhibition on September 12.

Tyson (50-6), 54, hasn’t fought since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005, fifteen years ago.

Jones Jr. (66-9), 51, last fought in 2018.

Tyson caught the



attention of the boxing world in May this year when he posted a short video of a workout that showed he possesses plenty of the punching power and speed, which qualities had allowed him to become the first heavyweight to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles.

Tyson had said then that he was considering a return to the ring for some exhibition bouts to raise money for charity.
