On November 28th in Los Angeles on Triller pay-per-view, boxing legends Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr., will engage in exhibition fight in which the 54 year-old Tyson and the 51 year-old Jones clash for eight two-minute rounds using twelve-ounce gloves. The WBC will likely provide some form of off-site judging for the exhibition. As part of the $50 pay-per-view, former super middleweight champion Badou Jack (22-3-3) takes on Blake McKernan (66-9) and in the chief supporting bout YouTuber Jake Paul (1-0) and takes on former NBA star Nate Robinson (pro debut). (There will be al least one additional bout). A press conference was held last Thursday.

When asked for his reaction to the fight being classified as an exhibition by the California Athletic Commission instead of it being a "real fight", Tyson snapped, "Listen, I don't know what you are talking about, what's not a real fight? You got Mike Tyson and Roy Jones. I'm coming to fight and I hope he's coming to fight. That's all you need to know."

Jones finished the thought, "Who goes in the ring with the great, legendary Mike Tyson and thinks, aw, this is just an exhibition. Twelve ounce gloves, no headgear... really, this is an exhibition? Come on bruh, be for real!"

As for the two-minute rounds, Tyson said he was disappointed with that restriction. "I'm sure they have their reasons for doing it, but you know, the women fight two minutes. But this is bigger than me, its for charity, its not all about me. The commissioner has more input than I do, so who am I to talk? I'm just happy that we're doing it."

Jones said he was preparing very hard for the fight: "Honestly, I'd have to be a fool not to [train intensely]. I'm going into the ring with one of the most dangerous men ever to grace the boxing ring. How could you go in there with twelve ounce gloves on, which is only two ounces bigger than what you normally fight in. You got on twelve ounce gloves, in with the one of the hardest punchers in boxing history, the youngest heavyweight champ of all time. And you're gonna not prepare to your utmost intensity? Are you crazy? It should be even higher than your most intense time's work because this is a bigger situation."
