Mike Tyson announces comeback fight on September 12th

Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet, will return to the boxing ring, and face off against fellow legend Roy Jones Jr. Tyson’s comeback has been rumored for a while, but nothing had materialized until now.

Heavyweight boxing legend, and ‘Baddest man on the planet’, Mike Tyson, is making a comeback to the boxing ring, on September 12th, 2020. He’ll be facing off against Roy Jones Jr. a legend in his own right, in an 8 round exhibition match. Both men boast multiple world championships, and are revered in the boxing community.

We last saw ‘Iron’ Mike box in 2005, at which point he retired, unable to cope with losing two fights on the trot for the first time in his career. Throughout the 90s, he wowed fans with scary power, lightning quick reflexes, and ruthless aggression.

But as brilliant as he was inside the ring, as troubled as he was outside it. In 2003, he filed for bankruptcy. At one point he went to prison for cocaine possession. He was controversy’s favorite child, always mired in drama and controversy.
