Panel: What do you think of the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones exhibition actually happening?

Mike Tyson vs roy jones

GB super-heavy

If it was anyone else Iโ€™d say theyโ€™re wasting peopleโ€™s money and itโ€™s pathetic but seeing as theyโ€™re both my heroes I canโ€™t really. But I hope they both get out of there safe and if it is an exhibition I hope itโ€™s sensible. I hope itโ€™s more of an entertaining show than a fight.

Tyson-Jones, with their age hats off to them, for the shape Tysonโ€™s got himself into, that theyโ€™re back out and fighting. If Tyson enters the ring with that instinct that everyone loves and knows, you know exactly whatโ€™s going to happen, heโ€™s going to take heads off isnโ€™t he?

Heavyweight prospect

I think the legends should just leave it where itโ€™s been. Theyโ€™ve done everything in the ring. But Iโ€™ll watch it to see what happens. To be fair itโ€™s not a comeback where theyโ€™re coming back to fight some champion, theyโ€™re both fighting each other, that same age.

Simen Nysaeter
Pro fighter

Two legends meet, but Itโ€™s 25 years too late. Itโ€™s a bit selfish of me to say that I love that this is happening, they should think about their health. I understand the money is tempting, but to have a body and head that works as good as possible would be my priority at that age.
