Hold your beers, screams, and excitement gentleman.
The upcoming boxing match between both legendary Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. has been postponed and rescheduled for a new date.
TMZ Sports reported “The company behind the event, Triller, says the move was made to accommodate a larger audience than originally anticipated. Given the enormous interest, the holiday weekend will make this historic battle an even bigger viewing event,” the company says … “marking the first live Pay-Per-View event brought to the world by Triller as the first of the ‘Triller Battles’ series.”
Other scheduled fights are set with former NBA player Nate Robinson facing off against Jake Paul, Blake Kerman vs. Badou Jack, one of Floyd Mayweather’s fighters and Vidaal Riley matching up against former MMA fighter Rashad Coulter. Jack will also donate his earnings to The Badou Jack Foundation.
Tyson is ready to step into the ring and said in a statement that has a fearful expectation unless Jones Jr. can last past two rounds.
“Changing the date to November 28th will give more people the opportunity to see the biggest comeback in boxing history. This temporary inconvenience will last longer than Roy Jones Jr. He better be ready, I’m coming full force.”
