Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. poster released

The official poster has been released for the upcoming exhibition bout between boxing legends Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr.

The two former heavyweight champions will meet in an eight-round exhibition bout on Sept. 12 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif., available exclusively through pay-per-view and the social video platform Triller. The event will reportedly cost $49.99 to purchase.

This bout marks the first in-ring appearance in years for both men. Tyson retired in 2005 following a loss to Kevin McBride, while Jones, a four-division titleholder, fought as recently as February 2018. In his last professional fight, Jones defeated Scott Sigmon by unanimous decision.
