Looks like Roy Jones Jr knows he's going to get smashed.
Even though it's an exhibition bout, both of these guys are extremely competitive, and I don't think either are going to want it to go to the score cards (well maybe RJJ).

Pushing it back to November does slightly favor Roy Jones, since he'll be able to bulk up somewhat to close the weight gap, but I still think Tyson will come in significantly heavier—after rehydration at least.

Is there any information on whether they have to make wait or what's on the line?

Its going to favour the promotion since by November, there vaccine couldhave been massively distributed already and perhaps watching the fight live on the ringside will be possible. Making money is the top priority in this exhibit.

They are there to show off. One way or another they will show which one can really still be on the track and its not going to end pretty like an exhibition match.

I really like it to see Tyson making a comeback as a fighter. In movies, he is not doing so bad. I watched Kickboxer, when he had a small role. That was nice role he had their. Not the main role, but still he was able to deliver some good fights and he teached Sloan a lesson in that movie in the scene that was going on in the prison. Do not know if he is getting to old for real fights like the one is coming. Still a legend Tyson.

You're not the only one who wants to see Tyson boxing again, but all Tyson fans from all over the world will want the same thing.
So there is no problem with Tyson's age who is no longer young, because a legend like Tyson will always be interesting to watch.
Even Tyson played a small role in the film, which could increase the film's popularity.

He is one of the guess fighter on the IP Man 3 where we see he gives the main actor a pain in the ass. well! that's how the movie goes but overall we can see in the movie that he is doing well and his body is fit for some exhibition fight. We need to understand that no matter how good he was when he was at his prime, he will become old one day at the same time his skills are now good for only doing some light things like what he does in this movie.

Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson’s return to the ring against Roy Jones Jr has been put back until 28 November.

We will have to wait til that time will come but we can't expect that no postponement will happen again. Grin

Looks like the promoter gather no Good amount of support for this fight that's why it is adjusted for more than 2 1/2 months?
does it mean that Mike Tyson and Jones has no Big market for their comeback?

Anyway this is disappointing because after waiting for couple of months here we are waiting for another months.

Because we are still in pandemic and live audience is not yet permitted. Maybe they are hoping that after 2 1/2 months, the boxing stadium can start accepting audience. However, it still depends if we will be getting the vaccine in that time period. Because only with the vaccine, can these promoters be at least confident in opening the match from spectators. Which of course means money for the promoters.

It was a wrong decision to announce this fight if they are expecting a crowd, it's been announce in the pandemic time and we know it might last longer, so what's the purpose of announcing it and they will just keep postponing it until they will cancel this fight.

Nope wrong here,because at least People wanna see this in live viewing so the organizer is hoping that by that time at least
the distancing will be shorten or at totally abolished.
like in my country from 1 meter physical distancing now it was reduce to 0.75 meters and next week to 0.5 meters
and the next week will be 0,25 meters
If this will be implemented in the Boxing place then the crowd will be at least doubled or triple ?
so in that case many people will watch live and many also will watch online so advertised will increase and bettors as well.

Promoters can also get a lot of money from the TV broadcasting which is going to be huge as a huge interest will be sparked when announcing that Mike Tyson is back in boxing.Many persons including non boxing fans love this controversial personality of Mike Tyson that he has showed during the years and that is why I think a lot of money can still be made even if the fight happens in an empty arena.

The last update I have regarding the fight is that it was postponed, and the hype has stopped.

That is strange. Two boxing icons are going to fight and everything is so silent. I could have said it is still due to covid-19 impact, but come on, people still have the internet and chat. But that does not happen. Is it due to people start to forget them? I don't think so. Imho this is due to weak promotion. Does anyone knows who is promoting this fight? Which organization?

Agree, tomorrow is the fight but can't find any hype but this isn't the only platform you can look about the fight. Also, there are many social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter where they hype the boxing fans and if you want a healthy discussion, Reddit is there.

I'm pretty sure that the hype is very hard to find due to the situation right now, many are suffering in COVID-19 and can't think about the amazing fight. It's very hard to find sponsors these days that will help to promote the event.

There's no fight tomorrow because this fight is postponed.

The hype started with Holyfield vs Tyson, what happened to that fight? I thought that was a better match up than this current fight, but out of nowhere Tyson vs Jones came up, so if this fight would still be cancelled, people would really be disappointed, including me.

The hype started because when Tyson announced his return Holyfield also announced his return for an exhibition fight and the news channels started speculating that they are coming back for a charity bout but Tyson said it is difficult to fight a friend as Holyfield and Tyson have a good rapport after retirement and that was the reason Roy Jones was selected as they already had an history as they were about to fight during their active careers.

Thanks for such information, now I know the reason why the fight did not happen, it's just a hype, nothing more. Anyway, so what happen to this fight, Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Junior has to happen, Mike Tyson at his age still wanting to fight so let's give the old guy a chance and see if he is still capable of fighting again.

The last update I have regarding the fight is that it was postponed, and the hype has stopped.

So there's no update about this fight since people are turning to Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield? People, once upon a time this thread was very active as we are excited to see this fight to happen, but now it's looks like a ghost town as suddenly people forget although this fight is not cancelled yet to my knowledge.

We still have three months before the match so don't be surprised if the thread hasn't been active for a few days. It's not that long, it's only a week that since this thread was active so I don't find it to be like a ghost town. There's not that much news and hype for the match.
But see to it that if the match is approaching maybe a month or less than a month, you'll see a lot of hype on it.

Seems that the discussion is going circles, however, there are some updates.

Roy Jones Angered Over Delay in Mike Tyson Fight, Threatens Withdrawal

Quote

"I’ve had to cancel other stuff to be out here, it’s upset my calendar, I’ve got to change things. That’s why we have to table bullsh-t now. That’s the biggest issue, I’m not a full time boxer anymore so I do other things to make an income. If I can’t do other things then I should be compensated for that, because it changes the schematics. It’s not acceptable," Jones told Daily Mail.

https://www.boxingscene.com/roy-jones-angered-over-delay-mike-tyson-fight-threatens-withdrawal--151046

Hmm, so Jones are threatening to pull out if he is not compensated for the days he lost because it has been rescheduled. What do you think if Jones pull the plug out of this one? Are we going to see the much awaited Tyson-Holyfield then?

Jones have a point, he values his time well and so promoter has to compensate him on the delay of fight.
At least he said he needs to be compensate, it's still likely that the fight will push through despite some delay, maybe they did not reach their target(money) yet?

It's already been hype by boxing related websites, but we don't have the exact figures if the target money is already there. They can still salvage this fight though, that is if Jones agree to be compensated, boxing is business so we need to understand where Jones is coming from here. If Jones doesn't want to continue then I do hope that Holyfield will accept it.

The one that I shared seems to be the latest, have you watched the youtube video I shared?

Here again, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mu3vLhafq4... This was updated last July 23, 2020, only less than a month.

This is insane! I mean, Mike's power and explosive punches are still there. Man! that punches will hurt you even if its land on your arm. His opponent needs to strengthen his defense or else he gonna let those punches land on his face and it will be a game over for sure. Mike's punches are unique, we never seen such kind of explosiveness in the other boxers even after he retired in professional boxing. Do you guys think this match will not end at final round? as for me, Yes!

Mikes power will always there because His problem eversince is the stamina thats why he Bite Holifield's ears because he cannot stand the long Fight since he also cannot bring holifield down for the first rounds.

But of course this is plus factor though Jones is surely aware of this and may just circling the ring until Tyson lose His stamina .

They would not go for long as they both will aim to knockout their opponent since it's the only way to win in this match up.
It's pretty clear in the rule that one should be KOd for the other player to win, so in terms of power, we have Mike who got the advantage but Roy is the younger boxer so he could use his advantage too to prolong the fight and once Mike gas out, that would be his chance to find a solid punch to KO Mike.

What i mean here is Roy may wait Mike lose His stamina before taking the advantage as what other boxers do when they fight Mike over the ring.
Roy will not risk His chance to Go Blow by Blow to Mike since i am sure he is aware about the power of Tyson.
so If he will wait for Him to get tired then the chance is on Him and maybe Tyson an easy target.
