Mike Tyson’s comeback fight vs. Roy Jones Jr. postponed to Nov. 28
The former heavyweight champion was set to fight Roy Jones Jr. on Sept. 12, but the match has now been postponed until Nov. 28, according to multiple reports.
The reason for the delay is that Tyson’s side believes it can “maximize revenue by rescheduling,” The Ring reported Sunday.
It is still set to be held without fans in attendance at Dignity Health Park in Carson, Calif., and broadcast on pay-per-view.
The 54-year-old Tyson retired from boxing in 2005 and has only fought in a series of 2006 exhibitions since then.
He has spent the last few months getting into better shape, updating his progress often via social media.
California State Athletic Commission executive officer Andy Foster previously said the fight would be a sparring session, but the 51-year-old Jones, who last fought in 2018, was preparing for the worst.
