Former boxing champion Roy Jones Jr., admitted the he may had made the wrong decision of fighting the returning Mike Tyson.
Although their match is labelled ‘exhibition’ both fighters have been talking about going all out, just like the old times, despite the changes in their body, speed and power.
\”He\’s still Mike Tyson, he\’s still one of the strongest, most explosive people who ever touched a boxing ring.”
\”If anything, I made a mistake going in with him. He\’s the bigger guy, he\’s the explosive guy,” Jones said in an interview with SkySports.
However, promoters and organizers were quick to come in between as they clarified that both boxers must agree to the rules they set in order to keep them safe.
Tyson and Jones Jr are already past their prime and if they are going to fight like it is a real fight, it may not happen.
Promoters are reassuring that the fight will also be an exhibit of their style and talent without getting anyone hurt as they think of the age of both boxers.
They\’re about the same age. 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,” said the California State Athletic Commission executive director Any Foster.
The clash between the 54-year old Tyson and 51-year old Jones was widely anticipated as they will see Tyson on the ring once again.
He was once called the Baddest Man on the Planet because of his domination in the heavyweight division before.
But, fans as well as the participants in the exhibition must hold their horses because it is not really a beaten-type boxing match afterall.

Tyson Fury's Dad sets constraints on the AJ-Fury rematch

The “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury (33-0-1) is set to rematch with two-time former unified world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua (26-3-0) next year but Fury’s dad pushes Joshua vs Wilder first.

Deontay Wilder, “The Bronze Bomber” (43-2-1), former WBC heavyweight champ, is the first American world heavyweight champ since 2007. He defended his title for 10 times.

But, Wilder lost to Fury twice after their trilogy last October 9, 2021 in an eleventh round KO.

John Fury blurted to The Daily Mail that many boxers are ducking Wilder because they are afraid of him. He added that only his son defeated Wilder twice yet he praised the latter’s power.

As of this writing, the said rematch is still unclear however, DAZN reported last September 23, 2023 that promoter Eddie Hearns got an venue offer to stage the fight next year.

Nikola Jokic, Lebron James will kick off the NBA 2023-24 season.

The unfinished business between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers will resume on October 24, 2023 in Ball Arena Denver, Colorado.

It can be recalled that the Nuggets swept the Lakers in the Western Conference. Shockingly, they advanced to their very first NBA Finals in franchise history with 4 – 0 in the Western Conference Finals.

“I know how great he is,” James said in the press conference last May 2023 about Jokic.

Jokic won MVP of the Western Conference Finals after he exploded with 27.8 points, 14.5 rebounds and 11.8 assists.

On the other hand, Lebron James felt humiliated with a sweep loss though it is not his first time to be swept. James got swept also last 2018, when his Cavaliers clashed with the Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile, Lebron is expected to erupt vs the Nuggets.

Crawford no match to Canelo at 168 – GGG coach

Gennady Golovkin (GGG) former coach Abel Sanchez presumes that Terrence Crawford is no match to Mexican pound for pound king Canelo Alvarez at 168 lbs.

In an interview by Fight Hub TV last October 9, 2023, GGG coach said that Canelo vs Crawford is laughable.

Sanchez is a Mexican-American trainer and coach of Gennady Golovkin who is the real rival of Canelo.

Undefeated and undisputed welterweight champion Crawford (40 – 0) has defeated his rival Errol Spence jr. last July 29, 2023 but still not enough to win vs Canelo.

It can be recalled that both Crawford and Spence Jr. have been craving to fight the Mexican superstar but to no avail.

When asked if Crawford can win vs Canelo, Sanchez said: “He [Crawford] gets beat. So, in my opinion, that’s not a good fight.”
