Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr set to take place on November 28
The highly-anticipated bout was first scheduled for September, but was later pushed to November 28. Reports even went viral claiming that Roy Jones Jr was unhappy with the change in date, but later agreed to the terms. He also sat down with ESPN a few weeks ago where he revealed his game plan to take Mike Tyson down.
Even though Roy Jones Jr admits that Mike Tyson has some serious knockout power, he revealed that he can depend on his superior movement and stamina to stop Tyson, who he believes is like a “pitbull pup”. Roy Jones Jr said he and his team know what Mike Tyson could do during the fight, so he’s preparing for it the best he can. “Mike Tyson knows one way. It's like playing with a pitbull pup – he'll play, but he'll get lost because all he knows is [to] go at it. That's all Mike knows, go at it. So I've got to be prepared for whatever Mike comes out with,” Roy Jones Jr added.
