Mike Tyson prepared to break the rules in crunch return fight with Roy Jones Jr

Roy Jones Jr will be given no mercy when he comes against Mike Tyson in the ring. They are set to face each other on September 12 in California. Tyson has been training hard during 2020 and has got himself fit to fight.  The former heavyweight champion of the world is excited to be back boxing and awaits the eight-round showdown. When asked if he will be hunting for a knockout, Tyson told TMZ: "If the opportunity comes, I'm always looking for it." He added: "This is search and destroy and I'm looking forward to recapturing my glory." Commission executive director Andy Foster has made clear to the pair they can "spar hard”. He told Boxing Scene: "We can't mislead the public as to this is some kind of real fight. They can get into it a little bit, but I don't want people to get hurt. They know the deal. "It's an exhibition. They can exhibit their boxing skills, but I don't want them using their best efforts to hurt each other. They're going to spar hard, but they shouldn't be going for a knockout. "This isn't a record-book type of fight. this is not world-championship boxing right now. People shouldn't be knocked out. The public can see what kind of shape Roy and Mike are still in."
