Boxing

Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson admits he deliberately held back during his November show fight with Roy Jones. Tyson and Jones spent eight rounds in the ring when Tyson decided to return to the sport after officially retiring in 2005. Their fight aroused great interest, and the paid broadcast of the fight was bought 1.6 million times.

Tyson now hopes to return to the ring in 2021 for another show fight. According to Mike, his plan was to get through all eight rounds with Jones. But next time he wants to be able to “give his best and finish the fight ahead of schedule.”

“I felt better than I expected, I thought I was going to be a little nervous, but I was relaxed. I felt “wow!” I could do more, I could do more combos, I could do this and that, “Tyson stated on his Hotboxin podcast.

“I said ‘wow, this is interesting.’ I want to do it again, and I want to do it against someone I could do my best with. In the fight with Jones, I wanted to go the distance, I didn’t want to knock out anyone. They expected a knockout from me, but I wanted to go the distance. “

Tyson’s biggest fight so far is the trilogy’s fight against fellow former undisputed champion Evander Holyfield. Details are still being discussed by both parties, and Holyfield recently said that Tyson was delaying the completion of the deal.

Holyfield shocked the world when he stopped Tyson in eleven rounds in 1996. Their 1997 rematch got even louder when Tyson was disqualified in the third round for biting off Holyfield’s ear.
