Boxing greats Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr collide in a blockbuster exhibition fight this weekend… here is your essential guide to the eight-round clash, including how to watch it and all the undercard bouts
The comeback every fighting fan has been waiting for is finally among us.
Mike Tyson will return to the ring this weekend against fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr in an eight-round exhibition fight.
It has been 15 long years since Tyson stepped through the ropes but the former heavyweight champion, who was once known as the Baddest Man on the Planet, has whipped himself into incredible shape and has looked as ferocious as ever on the pads in training videos.
Jones Jr, 51, only hung up the gloves in 2018 so will be the much fresher fighter and his team have talked up his hand speed and movement which were so integral to his success as he climbed from middleweight to conquer the heavyweight giants during his illustrious career.
Opinions are split and anticipation is bubbling for what is being billed as a fight for the ages.
Here, Sportsmail provide you with an essential guide to the fight.
