Big news: @MikeTyson is coming back. He will fight @RealRoyJonesJr in an eight-round exhibition match. Heard there will be boxer vs MMA fighters on undercard. Looks like it will be in Cali. Don't have the date yet.

Tyson’s return has been rumored, but at times, felt far-fetched.
Jones has foolishly continued his boxing career against young bulls, whom he can’t beat. But those who watched his prime know the truth: he was Floyd Mayweather before Floyd Mayweather. He’s a legend.
This has me already leaving possible weekends open.
This fight will sell. It will be a spectacle. And, oh, the pressers will be must-see.
I’m in.
I don’t know if I wanna see Mike fight, but his tv commercials for shark month on the history and discovery channels are hilarious.
Btw – did the History Channel mate with the science channel? And why is discovery channel so … Yesterday 🔥
