Mike Tyson body transformation stuns fans 

Mike Tyson has already shared multiple transformation updates over the past six months or so. This time, he looked shredded as ever as fans were excited to see the return of the old Iron Mike.

Fans effectively ruled out any chances Roy will have against the rejuvenated Mike Tyson, who is set to enter the ring for the first time in 15 years. One fan commented: "Man I think Roy is in trouble! Roy's the man, just as Tyson is, but I just can't see Roy pulling this one-off." Meanwhile, another added: "I feel bad for RJJ. My two favourite boxers but Mike is a damn monster." Some fans even went on to predict that it will be an easy TKO win for Mike in the first round. 

Initially, Tyson's bout was supposed to be a 24-minute match. However, the World Boxing Council (WBC) later shortened it to just 16 minutes, with each round a two-minute match-up. Per reports, WBC decided to sanction a shorter bout to ensure the safety of both competitors, whose combined age is 105.

Speaking to Joe Rogan, Roy Jones said that doing eight two-minute rounds will work in Tyson's advantage. While Jones said he was disappointed with the change, he added it is too late to pull the plug on the highly-anticipated bout, considering how excited fans are for Tyson's return to boxing.
